Graphene: A New Age
From the tip of a pencil to a white sheet of paper – if you have ever drawn with a pencil, you have probably made graphene. But what can graphene do?
By using our senses to explore graphene’s unique set of properties, we can open up the door to the next technological epoch – the Graphene Age. In the 50 square meter exhibition, Graphene: A New Age, you can find hands-on experiments, videos, illustrations, facts, and visualisations, as well as a wide range of graphene products.
For instance
Do you know how much force is required to bend a graphene-reinforced rod compared rods made of similar materials? Or have you ever experienced graphene’s exceptional ability to conduct heat?
So where will it take us
Step inside and discover more about graphene, and how it can revolutionise society and our everyday lives. The exhibition is available from 25 June, 2014 at Universeum Science Center, Gothenburg, Sweden. Stay tuned for other venues in the future.

Graphene Flagship
Bringing together 118 academic and industrial partners in 12 research and innovation projects and 1 coordination and support project, the Graphene Flagship initiative will continue to advance Europe’s strategic autonomy in technologies that rely on graphene and other 2D materials. The initiative, which builds on the previous 10-years of the Graphene Flagship, is funded by the European Commission’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. The 2D-Experimental Pilot Line, addressing the challenges of upscaling 2D material production processes for the semiconductor industry, is another key component of the Graphene Flagship eco-system.
