We’ve heard researchers tout the many benefits of graphene before, and it doesn’t look like they’re showing any signs of letting up, with a group from the University of Manchester now boasting that they’ve made even more progress with the material that was created only a few years ago. Specifically, they’ve apparently found a way to develop graphene-based films (an alternative to the current indium-based options) more cheaply by simply “dissolving” chunks of graphite into graphene and then “spraying the suspension onto a glass surface.” What’s more, the researchers say that there are only a “few small, incremental steps” remaining before the graphene film is ready for the mass production stage, after which they say we could be seeing graphene-based LCD products within “a few years.” As you may recall, this all follows some similar developments from researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, although their method apparently “involved several extra steps,” and they weren’t making any promises about actual products turning up anytime soon.
