but manipulate graphemes property the first samples for example word low efficiency conductors but they've improved drastically over time as new studies are released experts are calling the material revolutionary for the whole field of solid state physics. and. the first prospect for applying graphene was a high speed noise transistor is because graphene has very high electron mobility that it can also be applied to in gas senses we've proven that graphene based senses can even separate molecules. and finally it could be instruments based on new quantum principles because graphene can sustain many phenomena of quantum physics at room temperature has. a high powered microscope show how graphene samples look up close to electric currents for testing with these kinds of nano scale materials there's simply no substitute for top quality observation equipment
8:48 pm
. making that kind of equipment is the business of russian firm. technology update has been on their trail for years back in two thousand and seven they were already producing world class microscopes and controlled experiments systems their quitman is in laboratories in over sixty countries and in over one hundred universities around russia over the last decade under the increasing demands of the expanding world of nanotechnology. joining the push for multi-functional quit their latest installation the integra spectra is a good example of this cross-breeding combining scanning microscopic with the raman scattering spectrometer meaning the same device can be used to observe a desired object in its natural state in the influence of a range of effects. our instruments very well the first second and third layer of graphene we've designed a plasma

international startups. we have very strong expertise here. what is fake. much of what does work is on show back at the forum but it's more than a two step process. other companies are scouting meetings like these for investment in production ready now i don't know how one magic material has already reached that stage graphene has the international scientific community a buzz because of the crystal structures unique properties it's so thin it's literally two dimensional it's two hundred times more durable than steel but still ninety eight percent see through it's incredibly flexible withstanding twenty to thirty percent differ. emission in terms of electrical properties it's an unparalleled conductor of electricity and cheap perhaps most importantly this is

all it room temperature components and when you get some soon has announced plans to release the first mobile phones with graphene touch screens in two thousand and twelve. the watches which are let's use this date as a reference point at least so much samsung's big secret we got to see a working touchscreen prototype in a lab at some point university in the south korean city of suwannee they collaborates with a nearby headquarters of the electronics giant don't worry about the size they've already started producing graphene sheets several times larger. oafish so it is. a christian the sorts center where there would be some sewing to create so i think it's the first of mr griffin to center in korea this is the since in this is set up making two thousand at the time only one sensitive meter good
8:54 pm
thing was to make some size limitation is already history they've now made sheets with a seventy six centimeter or thirty inch diagonal consistent properties and production costs that approach viable commercial adaptations they use a process called chemical vapor deposition to form a sheet of graphene on a copper substrate then they transferred onto a flexible plastic surface when it cools if serious song is really to launch consumer products in two thousand and twelve as promised it's thanks to this lab and they have still more graffitti goodies up their sleeves. this is a way for. friends to all race. that possibility silicon based they could in the future but the moon though the performance is not so good i think pretty nice really promising point toast to the snicko. the placement in the future is leased to sue one specialist seem to be betting on a future dominated by flexible electronics teacher sofa wrap it around your wrist
8:55 pm
now it's a lot she popped it off and stretch it out it's a touch screen t.v. computer monitor of course the world around us has to be fitted out for this kind of information exchange but the benefits are pretty easy to imagine in a few years people will hardly believe this all started with simple graphite and if piece of scotch tape. this material got so many problems is that. for the will succeed i guess we're going to a study or people go into a study for the next ten twenty or more years from now it's a limited collection of truly nanotech products that you can take home with you but the way big companies and top innovators are betting it won't be long until minow is all around us joined us for more next month on technology update and it's all been enjoyed their right.
