We cover graphene a lot on CORDIS. And why wouldn’t we? It’s the thinnest known compound but also the strongest. Graphene promises to be a hugely important material in the twenty-first century and the EU has invested big in graphene research. In our special feature on graphene in issue 70 of Research*eu magazine, we featured GRAPHENESENS, an EU-funded project that is helping to take graphene from the lab and onto the market. For this month’s ‘Life After’, we got back in touch with Dr Pufinji Obene, Operations Director of Precision Varionic International and GRAPHENESENS coordinator.
