Those companies out there that are building tomorrow’s best innovations, take note – you might want to consider using graphene.

A new blog post on the New York Times explains how graphene could be the material of the future when it comes to innovation in product design. It’s a strong, thin material that’s capable of conducting electricity and heat better than most other materials.

Considered a “wonder material” by many scientists, it is only a single atom thick, meaning it can be used on anything from electronic clothing to supercharged quantum computers, all while serving the same purpose.

“Graphene is one of the few materials in the world that is transparent, conductive and flexible – all at the same time,” said Dr. Aravind Vijayaraghavan, a lecturer at the University of Manchester. “All of these properties together are extremely rare to find in one material.”

Don’t be surprised to see graphene in more devices over the next few years.
