Researchers at The University of Manchester have produced tiny liquid crystal devices with electrodes made from graphene.

Dr Kostya Novoselov, from the Manchester research team, explained: “Graphene is only one atom thick, optically transparent, chemically inert, and an excellent conductor.

“These properties seem to make this material an excellent candidate for applications in various electro-optical devices that require conducting but transparent thin films. We believe graphene should improve the durability and simplify the technology of potential electronic devices that interact with light.”
