Making state of the art sensors with children's toy putty and Graphene
Graphene Flagship researchers from Trinity College Dublin in 
collaboration with the National Graphene Institute (NGI) at the 
University of Manchester, have used graphene to make the novelty 
children’s material Silly Putty® (polysilicone) conduct electricity. 
Using this conductive polymer they found that they were able to create 
extremely sensitive sensors.

Projects' news & stories
Five projects take computational creativity to the next level
Computational creativity studies the potential of computers to act as 
creators and think creatively in arts and science projects. Five 
computational creativity projects funded under the Future and Emerging 
Technologies (FET) programme came to an end with great outcomes. These 
unique projects brought together top researchers designing computational 
systems that are creative on their own, laying the ground for future 
autonomous creative systems.

Opening new horizons for information storage
The Future and Emerging Technologies-Open project MAGicSky is neither 
about magic, nor about looking at the stars. Its very down-to-earth 
objective is to significantly improve information storage capacity and 
speed of information processing. In other words, MAGicSky research aims 
at developing extremely small and powerful memory elements.

Graphene enables fully flexible antennas for data transfer
Graphene, the thinnest, strongest and lightest known material is also 
flexible, impermeable as well as extremely electrically and thermally 
conductive. These are all properties that are well suited for next 
generation Near-field communication antennas enabling two electronic 
devices to transfer data.
