they hold much more power than only -- only graphine, because when it cannot do something, there areaterials which can instead. and i think that the future is really in the collective usage of those materials in combination. >> reporter: the next generation of electronics may be the focus here, but in the years ahead, this material could see scientists completely re-engineer our material world. >>> still to come this news hour, in sport we have all of the build up to the champions league. >> i'm phil lavelle in los angeles where we are now days away from the oscars, but who is it who and what are not nominated this year, which is what a lot of people are talking about. find out why shortly. v ♪ >>> now for all of the sport. >> thank you very much, lauren. in the last hour, former fifa president, sepp blatter, and michel michel platini have had their bans from football you would held but reduced. blatter had paid platini for work done a decade earlier. lee what does this mean for blatter and platini? >> reporter: well, platini and blatter were kept waiting by the appeals committee lon

graphine conducts electricity, it is a flexible and cheap alternative to silicon and metal based electronics. >> it is at the same time very thin and flexible and extremely good electrical conductor. very hard to find in any other material. electrical conduction is felt as a building block. >> the european union spending $1.2 billion over ten years of research into graphene, the way we produce cars electronics and the way we produce clothes. one of the reason why mobile phone makers have been slow to adopt it in their device he. that though may be about to change. whether to use in sensors or gloves, experimental applications for the material are being demonstrated at this year's mobile world congress and phone makeers are interested. some are doing their own research. but the man who won the nobel prize for finding graphene. >> what we prefer to talk about is the family of crystals rather than graphene alone, and collectively they hold much more power than only graphene. because where graphene cannot do something so there are other materials which you can understand, the thing of the future
