Graphene: The building block for sustainable cities

Smart cities are seen as a way to make our urban environments much more efficient and greener through the adoption of digital technologies that can, for example, better integrate and manage our utility and energy systems. However, what if some of this technology was embedded directly into the materials that went into our buildings and infrastructure? The exciting thing about graphene is their extraordinary multifunctional capability. Such materials would be ideal to develop a new generation of smart infrastructure.
