“As well for space, the potential is there for use in a lot of other markets, including for cryogenic equipment, in energy and power markets, even for food and beverage production,” adds Ugo.

“The next step will be the make the design even smaller and more user friendly, while we’re also working on other graphene-based sensor concepts, such as detecting trace levels of contaminants, or even microbes, below the detection threshold of traditional sensors.
