New "GraphExeter" material could enable “smart” mirrors, windows or t-shirts

New "GraphExeter" material could enable “smart” mirrors, windows or t-shirts: "Currently, virtually all touchscreen displays found in our electronic devices rely on a coating of indium tin oxide (ITO). It is used because of its electrical conductivity, its optical transparency, and the ease with which it can be deposited onto a display as a thin film. Using graphene, researchers at the University of Exeter have developed a viable alternative to increasingly expensive ITO that they claim is the “most transparent, lightweight and flexible material ever for conducting electricity.”"
