Silver Nanowires And Graphene Offer Touch-Screen Alternative To Indium Tin Oxide, Could Build Less Breakable Phone Screens

Researchers at the University of Sussex (Brighton, UK) have unveiled a new touchscreen material that offers several improvements over the industry standard - indium tin oxide, and could enable less breakable future smartphone screens. The material, a layered combination of silver nanowires and graphene, is more inexpensive, flexible and robust than indium tin oxide - which altogether could enable smartphone screens that are not composed entirely of glass.
