We’ve heard a lot about graphene being a “wonder material” that could be used for
smartphone casings and
antennas, but now it seems that some engineers have found a way to incorporate it into audio speakers and headphones as well.
Technology Review reports that University of California Berkeley researchers Qin Zhou and Alex Zettl have found that graphene is the perfect material for constructing speaker diaphragms, which typically work best when made from a thin material that reduces the need to conduct expensive and energy-consuming “damping engineering.”
