An interesting read and from a uk university hope they patent it quick before it gets copied etc

Amazing stuff. I read about the possibilty of your wallpaper powering your homes via indirect sunlight. Think we are a long way from making use of this as a cheap affordable commodity though.

I must be the unlucky one. Within a couple of seconds of clicking on the link a box pops up asking me to sign up to read it. There is no way of closing the box without exiting the article...:smileysad:

Graphene seems to be the human race's magic material, they are already looking to develop super batteries that last a week using Graphene substrate.

Reading that article @viridis it does seem to be 'wonderstuff'....

Graphene could be revolutionary in many ways, including superfast computing, incredibly light wearables, flexible phones, and it could lead to batteries with massively more capacity than today's power packs – meaning smartphones could only need charging once per week as opposed to daily.

Lets hope they can find a cheap way of doing this..

Just managed to read @Bambino's article properly.

They mimicked the surface of a moths eye?.... Isn't science wonderful?

Science is more than wonderful, it is fantastic that the scientists are using nature to help refine our technology
