Researchers at AMBER, the SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research, and from Trinity s School of Physics, have developed next-generation, graphene-based sensing technology using their innovative G-Putty material.
The team s printed sensors are 50 times more sensitive than the industry standard and outperform other comparable nano-enabled sensors in an important metric seen as a game-changer in the industry: flexibility.
Maximising sensitivity and flexibility without reducing performance makes the teams technology an ideal candidate for the emerging areas of wearable electronics and medical diagnostic devices.
The team - led by Professor Jonathan Coleman from Trinity s School of Physics, one of the world s leading nanoscientists - demonstrated that they can produce a low-cost, printed, graphene nanocomposite strain sensor.

Karolinska Institutet research awarded ERC Proof of Concept grant 2020 to fight lethal skin infections
KI-researcher Georgios Sotiriou has been awarded the European Research Council Proof of Concept Grant (ERC PoC) 2020. The grant is worth up to 150.000 Euro for a period of 18 months.
“This ERC Proof-of-Concept Grant is unique because it allows for the exploration of the commercial potential of our research results obtained from our ERC Starting Grant. The PoC grants are very competitive and go through rigorous screening, not only for the scientific excellence and their innovation potential, but also for their impact in terms of expected societal benefits. So it is a very nice feeling to know that our research is acknowledged in this way and we are grateful to the European Research Council for the support,” says Georgios Sotiriou, researcher at the Department of Micro
