Graphene Conference: From Research to Applications in Teddington, UK

This two day conference will address some of the new concepts of graphene electronics and progress in understanding graphene technology, physics and metrology.

15 October 2012 - 16 October 2012
Austria
An impressive range of recent breakthroughs in understanding graphene properties has raised expectations for graphene to revolutionise technology by offering faster, smaller, lighter, more flexible electronic devices, with new functionalities.

Commercial applications of graphene, ranging from transistors to touchscreen displays, are being pursued by a growing number of companies from start-ups to recognised technology leaders. Metrology, the science of measurement, has become one of the early adopters of this new revolutionary material and a key enabler of the progress from laboratory to industry.

This conference will review some of the new concepts of graphene electronics and progress in understanding graphene physics, technology and metrology.

The keynote speaker will be Prof Dr Klaus von Klitzing, from the Max Planck Institute of Solid State Research in Germany, who won the 1985 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of the quantised quantum Hall effect (QHE) and showed that the effect has fundamental implications for physics.

Talks will be given by key international experts from industry and academia, including members of the EU FP7 project 'ConceptGraphene'. Participants will also have the opportunity to visit various metrology laboratories at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL).
