Flexible memory opens the war on the bent phone

A bent phone is a target for smartphone makers. In order to produce such a device, its components need to be flexible.

With that in mind, a paper written by scientists at the University of Exeter revealed how a new storage system made of graphene could replace current flash memory. This material is cheaper and can be combined with oxide-titan to read and write data in nanoseconds. These "hybrid" components are only 50 nanometers long and 8 nanometers thick.

Graphene is good conductivity and is considered the perfect material for use in smartphones.

Graphene is a thin layer of carbon. It is considered to be the thinnest compound known to man. This is also the lightest and most powerful material we have available. Graphene is good conductivity and is considered the perfect material for use in smartphones.

The problem is that the current production of graphene is still quite complex. In addition, the quality of early graphene was not as good as the scientists expected. Many companies, including Samsung, have invested a lot of money into graphene research to use for key components of smartphones in the future.

Graphene conducts electricity better than silicon (it can transport electrons at a distance of 1000 km per second, faster than silicon 30 times). Samsung has also issued several patents related to the use of graphene in electronic devices. In the race to create the best Graphene, the winner will dominate the market and have a significant impact on the birth and development of the curved, folded phone.
