Research activities led by Alomainy from the Group on Graphene-based Soft Antennas in collaboration with Royal College of Arts and University of Manchester published recently in Applied Materials Today has been featured in Materials Today.

Electronic textiles that communicate, sense, or power other devices promise a new era of smart wearable technology. But current e-textiles rely heavily on metals such as gold, silver, and copper, making disposal or recycling difficult. Using nanomaterials such as carbon in the form of graphene could offer an effective metal-free alternative, according to researchers from Isidoro Ibanez-Labianao and Akram Alomainy from Queen Mary University of London, M. Said Ergoktas and Coskun Kocabas from the University of Manchester, and Anne Toomey and Elif Ozden-Yenigun from the Royal College of Art [Ibanez-Labiano et al., Applied Materials  Today (2020), 100727 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apmt.2020.100727].
