New pioneering applications star in Wonder Materials exhibition

Our partners 18th January 2017

The Wonder Materials: Graphene and Beyond exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester has been open for just over six months. Over that time, we’ve had an incredible 80000 visitors. People have described the exhibition as inspiring, fun, and informative. This is great, but we know that there are ways we can make the exhibition even better.

One of the things visitors told us was that they’d like to see some real examples of applications for graphene. We listened, and we have now added an exciting new display which showcases eight examples of products and demonstrators. I curated the content for this new display, a brand new section called ‘From now to the future: pioneering applications.’

There are two new display cases, one focussing on items that represent the ways graphene could find its way into our homes, and the other looking at how graphene can help us to use less energy and reduce environmental impact.
