South Korean scientists from Samsung announced great progress in flex electronics, even though it will take some time before we can see its applications in our daily life.

The new thing is a flexible film that brings electrodes from a chemical reaction between nickel and carbon, forming a compound called graphene (more details about the process here). The result? An extremely thin layer, almost transparent, with excellent electrical properties and that is resistant to folding and stretching.

The applications may vary from clothes and products that have information on themselves or their packages to full foldable screens for tvs, notebooks, etc.
