Graphene touchscreen in action!

[MrMeat42]

and it's running XP??

What a disgrace

[AwsomenessDefined]

i like how she's being kind of gentle even though the sheet could support a car

[IaxobusJames]

welcome to picture pages!

[lalacomun88]

brujeria!!!



[200779pd]

Manchester University is amazing, 1st we gave you the computer (Alan Turing) and now we give you graphene and both were achieved on shoe string budgets, the London-centric's must be crying inside :)

[pianoman47]

@200779pd "We"? Were you on both research teams?

[200779pd]

@pianoman47 We as in Manchester University, if you read my comment it actually answers your question duh!

[NganaJHone]

I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this Graphene touchscreen in action

[Melehete]

I Love The Video It Can Increase My Knowledge Video copyright of Nature Nanotechnology

[bebeheuy]

Steady I Really Like This Video Graphene touchscreen in action

[AntoMelta]

Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always A working touch screen display made from graphene

[willamricard]

Nice Video That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You A working touch screen display made from graphene. See the Chemistry World story

[imegatrone]

I Really Like The Video From Your A working touch screen display made from graphene

[bundawartini]

Your Video Is Very Useful Sharing A working touch screen display made from graphene. See the Chemistry World story here for more information

[onexdata]

Guys, for the record, this video is fake, graphene is real. This touchscreen is $17.99 on ebay and is the standard old school circa 2002 resistive type as evident by the pin count shown. The dork using gloves to "keep it clean" for some dumb reason has attached it to a screen so dirty the dirt is visible on camera. Nice.

[superhardmode]

only nerds like us could enjo watching him calibrate that touch screen :D.

[MusicForMeHere]

But does it have pressure levels? =O



[PleasureTV]

No more pixels, but glowing atoms :)))

[reinux]

is there anything useful about using graphene rather than induction + button on pen?

[SalientK]

Does this mean that regular screens could be easily retrofitted to be touchscreens?

[MrKingJay99]

@hellofuturestuff they have 3 years to give me my hover board, flying cars, and mr. fusion or i'll hunt the down and do things...

[ethiotoronto]

fake it's obviously just wearing a mask!!

[110levi]

fake..

[LiquidChem]

@110levi Oh man, you figured it out, graphene is fake! all those Berkely guys are full of shit! its a conspiracy! fake fake fake! .... lol... dude really? 110levi, i mean, really?!

[110levi]

@LiquidChem

Well, graphene isn't fake, but this video could be fake.

[superluminalthought]

@110levi, Its clearly not fake you retard...

[LiquidChem]

@110levi i know lol, it was satire

[gerry7man555]

Chuck Norris can punch it 1 time then it just shatters

[ThePhotory]

What was that background sound?! Cool device though

[lazarusthehucast]

sounds like some faggot is sucking dick. what a fucking mouthbreathing fuckface

[LilRoloEre]

@lazarusthehucast Lmfao. The way you worded this comment is pure genius.Well done sir!

[lazarusthehucast]

@LilRoloEre Hahahaha, well the truth is it made me want to break my speakers and headbutt my fucking monitor.

[ocool100]

Can the graphene be a display for it self (without a platform on the back)?

[bleepbleep1234]

Chuck Norris's soles on his shoes are made from Graphene

[numberman52]

@bleepbleep1234 terrible

[bleepbleep1234]

@numberman52 hahaha I know, that was pretty whack, hey fuck you, I was up late and pissed out of my head!!!

[MrAidanGreenhalgh]

@bleepbleep1234 Chuck Norris is made of Graphene

[Jblod240]

I have a graphene kneepad

[YourAnonymousHero]

I <3 U 2

[chrishitlicious]

Its a graphene layer. Graphene is one layer from a graphite, graphite is a material that used to make a pencil . Graphene is the strongest material ever discovered

[jony1710]

@chrishitlicious i think bucky balls are stronger but there basically balls of graphene.

[theXotaku0]

Z <3 U? D'aww, that made me feel all giddy ;3

[FLYGUYNO1]

I'm sorry ,.. !! but I'm not sure what it is that u are demonstrating here with this clip,.. can u tell me,..?? thanks

[guiltyspark1337]

@FLYGUYNO1 Well, many people say that touch screen technology in the future will use graphene.

[FLYGUYNO1]

@guiltyspark1337 THANKS,.. had a slow day there,.. i suppose it is more likely,.. I'm not sure as to the workings of the components of current ,. touch screen tech,. as far as withs and,. flexibility,.. is concerned,.. and ,.. if this theca is,. what it appears to be,.. well the next step i suppose would be to make it transparent,.. slap it on an oled screen and there you have it a 1,5 mm flexible / touch screen with hi res capable ,.. comp with a very very low power draw,.. cool

[OlympicAirways218]

All I hear is open-mouthed chewing, I can't pay any attention to the video.. AGHHH

[nobcjmeovicjeo]

CLOSE YOUR MOUTH WHEN YOU CHEW

[INMATE2468]

Androids gonna use this then next thing you know apple will copy it and say its " new" and ppl will buy into it.

[deathsminion25]

@INMATE2468 Apple will then sue Android; claiming to have the copyright.

[Blunder1248]

The point of the exercise is to shows it strong and due to the properties its very fast at conducting touch screen.

[honki3MAN]

God I'm retarded

[gugudeh]

i dont understand nothing

[BuiltOnTruth]

who ever is chowing that gum in the background, i'm going to hunt you down and do... things...

[carlsm95]

Why does it have to be placed on the computer screen? Why can't they hold it by itself to show that its an actual screen and not just an illusion they're creating? Hmm....

[IcEye89]

@carlsm95 because the screen shows the points you have to touch to calibrate the touchpad

[miretchin]

awesome

[o0oD4n1so0o]

it runs on windows

[scrtg]

@TheCarmacon to me all they did is they placed a silicon plate right on the screen over a window of the same size, unscrolled the window to make an illusion that it's the plate that is lit and that is all. Magicians

[ANDSENS]

@scrtg WTF are you talking about? The plate is not lit. That's not what this video is about at all.

[scrtg]

@TheCarmacon how come I know the plate is made of graphene. It doesn't look like it should according to the description. Looks more like silicon. Too hard and thick for the new material. Or it is the computer screen that is made of graphene? Why should I believe it? And what graphene properties do they demonstrate?

[scrtg]

So what is the point of the video? Is it a commercial? is it being manufactured in the industries already or is it a home made squeaky shit? Why is the video silent? Are they ashamed to say a word? I think it is fake and the only use the so called graphene is making condoms from it

[TheCarmacon]

@scrtg it's a test video in a laboratory - they just wanted to show that it works. watch this video again in some years - then you'll get the significance of it ;)

[3droadrunner]

@scrtg ..hahahahahahahaha....Jesus...­are you Brit?

[ChihabMansour]

STOP THIS DAMN FUCKING NOISE BITCH!

[MineCraftIntensity]

@GameVideosOnline graphene is carbon not plastic

[dltndnja]

this is done in korea I guess. skku is a korean university lol

[RavageGames]

@PwnageGuru wellllllll it is extremely expensive.......

[CrazyMonkey124]

@RavageGames That's why we fund it....derp

[HonoredQuincy]

Touch screen displays for computers has been out now for over 4 years...you can get one ofr $50.00

[CrazyMonkey124]

@HonoredQuincy They've been out since the 80s...I don't think you quite understand why this is significant.

[hoddie54]

@CrazyMonkey124 totally agree with you Crazy. He doesn't get Graphine or why it's important. I doubt he knew it won the noble prize for physics in 2010

[Direwolf56]

Is somebody chewing on something on the background?

[xxDOiDosasdaXx]

É MASSA DOIDO grafeno é nois o/

[sirfreakman]

C'mon Nobody uses an stylus these days!!!! Give me a Break! 

[GameVideosOnline]

I dont think many people understand what this holds in store for us.

Let me just reiterate, this "random piece of thin plastic" is 1 atom thick.

Do you understand how thin an atom is?

Now that you're back from googling the thickness of an atom, google the strength of steel and the rigidity of a diamond. All of which are properties of Graphene.

This is a new dawn for the tech world..

[lucasbudega]

i don't see nothing special with it, my iphone can do 100x more stuff than that little colorless paint

[billytim7]

@lucasbudega yea but this is millions of times thinner

[CorruptedPersona]

that is impressive, graphene will be the way of the future, I'd love to see what they can do with such a strong conductive material.

[babblingmonster1802]

thumbs up if you are tired of comments that ask you to thumbs up

[MrHappyTurtle]

@babblingmonster1802 piss off :/

[physicsmathandtaichi]

@PwnageGuru We are, actually.

[hguner1]

It's worth to see electrochomism in graphene:

?v=IcKSZM39F6c

[kaziabir1]

This better moves fast...I want to ride space elevator during my lifetime.

[acer0169]

New-age graphics cards that are super cool because instead of 45nm or 55nm they're like 3nm lmao :D

[yukonrott]

personally i dont really see the importance of havin this stuff whats wrong with typing on a keyboard.. let alone even havin a computer..i sure am glad the government (im sure) is spending so much money on stuff like this instead of helpin ppl that are laid off or struggling to pay bills...and since i know im gonna piss alot of SMART ppl off ill say i think goin to space and probes and satellites is a WASTE OF FUCKIN MONEY..really u know how long it would take to colonize in space? TOO LONG

[burninmunkeys]

@yukonrott Lol, you're a fail troll.

[mouldycrouton]

@yukonrott I totally agree with you; people who don’t understand the importance of technology and research shouldn’t have computers…

[ComicMan9]

@mouldycrouton Face it. Most people that use technology aren't intelligent enough to know a single thing about it. I mean a single thing.

[DASBIGUN]

@mouldycrouton I would go further.....but that is because I am partially insane

[arminask]

@mouldycrouton There is no need to understand where something comes from to make use of it. If you had to learn the background info for all the things you use in your life, then you will spend your whole life doing that.

Computers to most people are just tools, and not everybody cares about the technology behind them, because it's most likely unproductive.

[Divinorum913]

The only foreseeable problem with graphene circuits is heat dissipation and electron tunneling. Stacking millions of these sheets to create a microprocessor will be tricky. Also I can't imagine how hard it would be to apply nano-transistors to this material using EB lithography. It's also doubtful that we will discover 1nm light for the current photo-litho processes used to create CPUs and the like.

Regardless, this is an exciting material, and I look forward to it's future applications.

[Rlty4Me]

@Divinorum913

ELECTRON TUNNELING? EB LITHOGRAPHY? PHOTO-LITHO PROCESSES? I'm sure I speak for everyone reading your remarks when I say you sum up and express our EXACT same immediate thoughts about this promising new technology...hahahahaha :-) Yeah, like, totally dude! Spock called and he wants his brain back.

[MrMonkeybat]

@Divinorum913 Those are big problems for silicon based electronics all of which are much easier to overcome with graphene. Gr is the best known room temperature conductor many times better than copper and hundreds of times better than silicon transistors. So they will run much faster on a tiny amount of power, producing a tiny amount of heat. Gr is also the best known conductor of heat so it can spread whatever heat is produced much faster. Working Gr memristors have been made from 6nm ribbons.

[Johnykun]

lol win 7 0:37

@Johnykun looks like xp with vista theme

[1999lego]

cool

[RobertoHomerDelgado]

¿Why this video has only 96764 views?

We don't give importance to important things

That's lame

But this video is good and I'm one of those 78 people that are interested

[rabagast19]

If Samsung makes a large graphene TV that I can roll up like a curtain when I'm not watching it, I will give Gee-Sung Choi my first born baby.

[REXXBAILEY]

WHY SO MUCH NOISE BOUT SUCH INCREDIBLY OUT OF THE WAY DIFFICULT TECHNOLOGY TO USE IN SOME OF THE MOST LAMEST AND MEDIOCRE OF DAILY ITEMS COMMONLY USED FOR FOOLING PPL INTO THINKING DAT THEY ARE THE HEIGHT OF TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY DAT IS A LAME ASS T.V SCREEN... DOESNT OLED ALREADY DO DAT IN A MUCH SIMPLER AND NOT SOO DIFFICULT TO REACH UNNATAINABLE WAY ??..LOLS WATEVER IS SHOWN HERE OLED CAN ALREADY DO BETTER. SO WHY ARE PPL SOUNDING LIKE THEY KNOW SO MUCH BETTER WHILE TALKIN BOUT DIS?

[VarykGerai]

@REXXBAILEY retard. oled is a light emiting surface requiring transistor backplane which (hopefully) will be made out of graphene in future, which will increase energy efficiency greatly

[Volareen]

Mind = blown. I was just doing some research on this.

[opferte]

Like I have said, Graphene is probably the single most important discovery in solid-state history. What can come from this technology will destroy so much of what we have known.

[djsufferthing]

1:03 - I believe he just "came."

[Anarkokommunist]

YES!!! More X-files and asian porn faster than ever!!!!

[nihon8bits]

LOL IS EATING A GUM?

[mopsnuf]

lol, it took me the Samsung logo to figure out this wasn't an Apple. nice going, Samsung -.-

~Nout

[adrianmoralbarbie]

@mopsnuf what's wrong with you? that computer does not look like an Apple product (I won't even say computer) at all...

[pACKERSpHAN1BAGILION]

dumbass not all computers are apple most computers are not apple and better so gfyourelf

[bartzis]

I Love you too!

[VaprzVideo]

Why are you attaching it to another computer monitor? Is this your backlight source? Is the screen even generating the images? Is it merely a touch screen and the images generated by the flat screen on your lap top? I don't mean to be disrespectful but your demonstration leaves a little to be desired, unless I've missed that you're only demonstrating the "touch screen" aspect of this... and not the display.

[blueiris23]

@VaprzVideo It is only a demonstration of the touchscreen. The title says so, and the article that the description directs you to explains the purpose of this demonstration in more detail. 

[Thaifighterforever]

@VaprzVideo hey buddy, you are a retard. Happy new year

[diazgbs]

Qué grandioso que es ver la tecnología del futuro. Tenemos los algoritmos, las lógicas y las ideas. Lo que cambia es el material con el que se fabrica. El grafeno llegó para quedarse.

[matzipanful]

why do idiots get the highest rated comments? they don't even know how to spell the words correctly.

[BransGuitar]

...my gosh... I can't WAIT for this to be industrialized! I might as well just start making some at home! This stuff is... amazing. I love how Graphene isn't some super material that you can only find in the deepest part of some mountain, just look at your #2 pencil, and there it is (essentially). But what about recycling the material? Might be a little hard...

[zanariot]

Both of the top commenters have bad cases of USI. Anyone who is watching this video realizes the importance of this and I haven't seen any comments of people saying it is useless, but please point out how ignorant we all are and let us know how fucking educated about graphene you are.

[bernie23232323232323]

want to buy a building made of this naooo

[gatraw]

now if it could do tilt and pressure sensitivity I could kiss wacom's monopoly goodbye!

[VidMasterflex]

This will revolutionize the world again. Just watch.

[saltman147]

this is the next important thing after computers .. seriously

[briantexts]

Just wondering, since it is 1 nano meter thick and is hundreds of times stronger than steel, does that mean that accidently holding onto an edge of a "plate" of graphene will cause you to lose your fingers instantaneously?

[rasen013]

@briantexts you got me seriously intrigued and kind of disturbed at the same time.

[Anonymousg64]

@briantexts Only if enough pressure is applied to the the layer to overcome the intermolecular force of the atoms in you're finger. The sheet is likely to bend.

[secret212000]

@briantexts

Lol...you can't be serious

[wildreams]

So that sheet is actually atomically thin? Meaning we can finally know how a nanometer thickness feels like? XD

[pfarabee]

@wildreams no, it is a plastic sheet with a layer of graphene affixed to it.

[doceigen]

A transistor is a three layer system, two if the substrate is a planar negative or positive structure... this means accuracies of 1 nanometer will be necessary to construct chip or wafer level integrations. I think, this material will come into its own (electronically), when viruses can be programmed by exo-genetics to move graphene molecules about and assemble them in situ, in a 3D matrix. This includes in place viral AI intelligence for error checking, and in place testing... the future!

[doceigen]

I am intrigued by WHY the demonstrator desired to make the application so unimpressive? I know that once the graphene touch detector was functional, they could have made it render any sort of graphic they desired via software... nice crisp hight contrast lines! But instead of even making it 'seem' to draw nicely, they made it seem as if the lines are frosty and out of focus, and yet those in the know, know... the data set ACTUALLY precludes that?! This strategy for marketing, baffles me.

[stjepanovic84]

@Lohan42 sincere apologies asshole, for not being up to speed on geeky knowledge, did it fuckin say that in the video?! On plenty of other presentations the display comes on the graphene itself, knobhead

[butheadjoe]

Graphene is graphite but ONE ATOM thick. Imagine that. One tiny atom thick.

[stjepanovic84]

@dolmaface that's the question I was gonna ask, you can see at one point a pop up appears, and it's not aligned properly with the graphene... Fake? Time will tell

[Lohan42]

@stjepanovic84 no dumb ass , the images are projected by the monitor , only the touchscreen properties are performed by graphene.

[AlbinoNinjaPoptarts]

this should be funded for shit besides touchscreens and other toys :P

[chaff5]

This stuff is going to change the world once they figure out how to mass produce it. Cars, boats, planes, space vehicles, electronics, homes, medicine, surgery, prosthetics, armor, weapons, shoes, tents... absolutely endless. If it needs to be strong, light and durable (everything), we'll use this stuff.

[rainzoro]

@chaff5 i saw a news article that the tech for mass production is already in action in south korea. I had an internship in Samsung Electronics 2 years ago, and I saw this one computer monitor that would bend like a softcover book. Now, I am not sure if this was graphene or not.

[dolmaface]

wait is that image being projected by the laptop screen, or the graphene film? If that person detacehd the film would the image still be on it?

[PwnageGuru]

WHY AREN'T WE FUNDING THIS!?!?!

[Nomoreidsleft]

@PwnageGuru Of course this is being funded. Do you think these videos are being posted by some guy in his garage? That little graphene touchscreen probably cost thousands of dollars to make.

[HowManyTimes234]

@PwnageGuru because we're retarded and because people don't want to put in any effort to create something which is not only more practical but more efficient on a variety of levels. people would rather stick with the bullshit that we have instead of change for the better

[tpower1912]

@HowManyTimes234

Eh we're about to fund it a whooping 1 billion euros (approx 1.45 billion dollars),

so eh... do you have more faith in humanity now?

[MrHappyTurtle]

@PwnageGuru the European Commission is giving one project out of this one and 5 others 1bn€ for funding and research

[billytim7]

@PwnageGuru "we" arent because its russian...

[xXturbo86Xx]

and dont forget about medicine! this thing can save much more lives! nanotubes can replace problematic arteries, or films that will patch up an internal wound safely and in no time. superthin tools that will allow safe brain surgery.

[Ricki145]

As a lot of people have said that we have had touchscreen for ages which is of course true.

1. This could allow us to convert non touchscreen items to touchscreen, which will save a lot of money compared to having to do the full re-buying of technology that would otherwise be required.

2. This technology is extremely thin and durable, and with a thinner screen would make touchscreens smaller, allowing more space for battery etc.

[daffleck]

Just viewed the Intel STS 2009 video (plus others related to the competition) that d3str0y3rport suggested. Thanks for that - very interesting presentation. And the young guy was home schooled!

[fokGoogol]

ONLY ONE ATOM THICK!

How strong is this stuff?

[coolrecursion]

@fokGoogol 200 times stronger than steel yet flexible

[secret212000]

@fokGoogol

stronger than steel. and yet you can stack millions of sheets on top of one another and it still wouldn't be one mm thick. and, it has the best electrical conductivity, better than any other material on the planet. incredible.

[lusaka99]

@secret212000 can you build home homes with it

[mykegoh]

Hmm this generation of population is not likely to enjoy the full fledge potentials of graphene.!!! :(

[bman8444]

O my god. that is amazing a "touch screen". Oh wait we've had that for years dumbass

[daffleck]

OK - I'm not a technical idiot but what did I just see here? What is the significance?

Putting a video illustration on U-tube is great, but if you really want to make an impact, try an accompanying explanation. We're all ears.....well, 2 really but you know what I mean.

[d3str0y3rport]

@daffleck H8AtBPpyIRg

[d3str0y3rport]

@daffleck watch tis video:  H8AtBPpyIRg

[MegaGPlus]

OH FUCKIN SHIT! THE FUTURE IS HERE. :O

[quangluu96]

yes but it is not fully sucessful right?

[8DX]

@quangluu96 They ran out of selotape..

[quangluu96]

holy shiet transparent screen, im looking forward to watch 2160p redtube =)) sexy v@gina

[eujeeves]

Does this mean we're getting closer to holodeck technology?

[abz998]

Graphene will allow for extremely thin bendable see through electronic devices... If it replaces silicon in transistors then processors will be a thousand times faster... In other words... We'll all have supercomputers in our phones.... Still think development in graphene isn't important?

[DrOvyZ]

this has so many possibilities even for the far out there thinkers would agree that nanotech and graphene is the most important thing ever made if the way Im thinking of it could be used

[stawelor]

touch screen could be made cheaper and flexible..

for transistors, they do not have to make a big piece..

[capiwf]

For those who doesn't know how important this is... Graphene is the strongest material ever measured by man (200 times stronger than steal) and it is flexible...

They are going for transistors that will mesure 1nanometer (the smallest we have today has 45 nm... 1 layer of graphene mesure 1 nanometer(as thick as a molecule)... So think again about not being important...

[xXturbo86Xx]

@capiwf yes. in the official report its is mentioned that one layer of graphene with weight les that a gram can hold a full sized car without braking and it stretches a lot. its also 10 times more heat conductive than copper and a bit better electrical conductivity. it has endless applications. it can literaly transform the whole world around us. from military and space equipement to simple everyday use appliances. its the top discovery of our century!

[pikalulz007]

@capiwf Actually it's supposed to conduct electricity thousands of times easier than silicon :O I think

[pikalulz007]

@pikalulz007 Actually, I don't know how many times easier, that's what some comment some other place said
