When you think of graphene, you think of a new super-material that dreams, and the future, are made of.
Today, ‘the future’ just got a little more present, thanks to news that the Graphene Flagship Consortium, a collection of industry and academic partners – including Nokia – looking to improve the world using graphene, was chosen by the European Union for the Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) program, triggering an investment of 1 billion euros that will be spread over the next 10 years.
Measuring only one atom thick, graphene is classed as a 2D structure with super-useful properties. While thin, it’s also the strongest material ever tested, having a breaking strength 300 times greater than steel. Oh, and it’s also the lightest and best intrinsic conductor, too.
The Graphene Flagship Consortium currently consists of 74 partners from the EU, from many different sectors. Nokia is flying the flag for the electronics corner, as well as the mobile one, with realistic dreams of improving the industry.
When asked about why Nokia is researching graphene and why this consortium is vital, Henry Tirri, EVP, CTO of Nokia explained:
“Nokia is proud to be involved with this project, and we have deep roots in the field – we first started working with graphene already in 2006. Since then, we have come to identify multiple areas where this material can be applied in modern computing environments. We’ve done some very promising work so far, but I believe the greatest innovations have yet to be discovered.”
“Graphene happens to be an area where we, in Europe, have all the important players in the value chain who are ready to use it in applications. From that perspective, this is a very efficient and promising way of doing research investments for Europe.”
Tapani Ryhänen, Head of the Sensor and Material Technologies Laboratory at Nokia also told us that:
“During the last 18 months we have seen a tremendous effort to build collaboration between European academia and industry. Now we have all the ingredients in place to be globally successful. We believe that new two-dimensional materials will have an impact on industrial value chains in many ways, creating opportunities for new products, services and economic growth.”
According to figures compiled by CambridgeIP, a UK-based patent consultancy, Asia and the USA are leading in terms of the number of patent publications, even though graphene was pioneered in Britain.
What is graphene?
This EU consortium is designed to boost research opportunities and to put the EU right in the heart of development. Jani Kivioja, Research Leader at Nokia Research Center, explains that it also has wider implications:
“Not only does creating a graphene research consortium open up new research possibilities, it will also create work and jobs across all of Europe. This kind of research is also an investment to the people that live within the EU, from an economy perspective.
“Globalisation has taken a lot of manufacturing out of the EU, whereas many countries still rely on industrial manufacturing. There is a huge opportunity to bring manufacturing back here, while using new materials and at the same time keeping manufacturing industries competitive,” continues Tapani.
Although graphene has received lots of media attention over the past few weeks, especially in the UK, as Henry mentioned, Nokia has been working with nanotechnologies since 2006, mostly from the Nokia Research Centre based in Cambridge, UK, and also with teams in Finland and Russia. You could say that we’ve been involved from the beginning, and there’s a good reason, Jani says:
“When we talk about graphene, we’ve reached a tipping point. We’re now looking at the beginning of a graphene revolution. Before this point in time, we figured out a way to manufacture cheap iron that led to the Industrial Revolution. Then there was silicon. Now, it’s time for graphene.”
Tapani notes that we shouldn’t expect to see everything made out of graphene. Instead, it’s all about improving existing materials and products to make them even better than before:
“Making products out of graphene will definitely happen across lots of different industries. By introducing people from different markets together within the EU-based consortium, we can begin to make real-world applications that benefit us all.
“Really, this type of technology has radically improved the properties of many materials that can be used in our industry. It was discovered in the EU, and we’re very proud to have been involved from the very early years and now to be participating in the consortium. We have a very functional research team in place that can do world-class research with our partners.
“We have kept our eyes open, and believe that this will bring immediate impact to our products over the coming years in some way or another.”
Starring Antonio Banderas (Desperado), Mark Strong (Zero Dark Thirty), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and Tahar Rahim (The Eagle), Day of the Falcon is an epic film that tackles honor, greed, betrayal and love between rival kingdoms. Just as the two groups cease to fight after years of bloodshed, oil is discovered between their territories, reigniting their once violent past. It’s now up to their children—young lovers who married in hopes of bringing the families together—to find a way to end the violence and to bring peace to the land.

TweetEnjoying Nokia Music on your Lumia, and want more of it? You’re in luck. Nokia today announces Nokia Music+, which brings a slew of new and richer options for a low monthly subscription fee of €3.99/$3.99.
For those that love the original free Mix Radio service, it will remain intact – this is all about adding extra.
Jyrki Rosenberg, VP Entertainment at Nokia, told us, “People love Nokia Mix Radio – in fact, many people are amazed that we can offer it for free.
“It’s the only smartphone music service out there offering access to millions of songs out of the box without the need to sign up, sign in, or suffer adverts in between enjoying the music. When you add in the ability to skip songs and save playlists for offline uses like the tube, you have something unique.
“We spend a lot of time listening to how people use the service and have even managed to half the amount of skips per songs played, which is a combination of our systems and musicologists understanding and shaping Nokia Music around the users.
“Nokia Music is great for discovering new music, and we’ve found that there’s a core of users that want even more of it. This is how Nokia Music+ came about. By introducing features like infinite skips and unlimited downloads, we’re opening the doors for unlimited music discovery at only €3.99 per month.
“This is for people who care enough about music to pay something for more quality and choice, but don’t want to pay €9.99 monthly.”
So what do you get?
Unlimited skips. Whether you like to skip from track to track, or just want extra control over what you hear. There’s no stopping you with Nokia Music+.
Unlimited downloads. The free service allows you to download up to four Mixes (each of which contains hours of music) and play them without an Internet connection. The paid service removes this limit – you can download a massive supply of offline music you can swap as you wish.
Higher quality. We were surprised by the high quality of streaming music from Nokia Music, even over a 2.5G connection. Nokia Music+ allows you to download music at eight times the existing quality. Plus, you can set rules to only download high quality when you’re on WiFi, for example.
Lyrics. Words to the songs you’re listening to, right on your Nokia Lumia. Either in a scrolling list, Karaoke-style format, or a display you can scroll up and down.
On your desktop. The Nokia Music+ subscription also gives you access to the service without your phone. A web-app gives you the ability to play Mixes on your computer, smart TV or other connected screens.
Nokia Music+ will roll out in the next few weeks. The price will vary slightly according to territory, but is expected be available at around €3.99/$3.99 per month.
TweetRelated articles Nokia kicks off Social Media Week LA with free Janelle Monae performancegreat! I have an XBox music pass and I absolutely love it. But the discovery aspect of Nokia music gives me the opportunity to find songs from artists I didn’t even know before.
I just wish the catalogue would become bigger as its big enough but not very big. Another aspect that could help is if you offer a “heart” button next to the song that people are listening to to signal like or dislike. That way you can easily give people a chance to filter their music and tell you what they like and what they hate.
Skipping works for dislike and “download more from this artist” works for like but its a very cluncky solution. Sometimes people don’t want to waste a skip just in order to signalize “I don’t like this”…
anyway, great music service.
http://twitter.com/kps91 Kunwar Preet Singhso this and nokia music unlimited(NMU) subscription will go side by side?
http://twitter.com/BLAZEMONGER Paul van der HeuDoubt it, NMU is what’s offered in India.
http://twitter.com/kps91 Kunwar Preet SinghNMU is just in india? no other country?
http://www.facebook.com/simon.bull.33 Simon BullIt’s also available in China.
XB_Modit used to be available in a lot of countries but due to lack of interest they reduced the support to China and India I think.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003693923679 Ayush LP MathurNMU only offers Unlimited download from store, and reading this, I guess this add-on is only for Mix radio, and not for Music Store, so they will go parallel, buy NMU for store and this NM+ for Mix Radio. But alas problem is still there, we cant download High Quality songs from Nokia Music Store, and hardly few people save mix radio for of online, so what’s the need oh High quality Mix radio download, it gonna be a disappointment in India if I am right.
SvenBe kind to your neighbour Sweden and let us be 1 of the countries that gets it first
http://www.clubnokiard.com/ Frankie BloiseI will be glad to pay for this, specially since I will be able to play my music not only in my Lumia but in my PC and my SmartTV!
http://conversations.nokia.com/ Adam FraserThat’s one feature I’ve been waiting for, too.
http://twitter.com/FdoCortesM Fernando CortésI have a Nokia Lumia 710 and in my country (Chile) and probably all of Latin America we don’t even have Nokia Music. It was one of the features I was looking forward the most…
http://www.clubnokiard.com/ Frankie Bloisemostly due to licensing issues with local companies… I remember when living in Dominican republic, sometimes CD’s and even Movies were handled by local companies and the movies got there months later. See Netflix’s example, the Latin America Netflix has a very poor movie selection compared to US, Canada or even Europe.
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003693923679 Ayush LP Mathuramazing, its cool, I was waiting for feature to download high quality tracks on my phone. Just a bit of confusion, is it only for lumia or will it be available for Symbian phones too. actually I use nokia 700 for music purpose as it have Dolby enhancements but not my Lumia 610, oh BTW, it is for WP7.8 devices too, right?
and at last, a suggestion, please improve the way we search or better say Discover music on Nokia Music. Nevertheless, its a great service by Nokia . :)
Admin, I need your reply please…..
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003693923679 Ayush LP Mathur@AdFraser:disqus Admin, I need your reply please…..
http://twitter.com/mazzeger MazzeI also like Nokia Music, but to be honest, whenever I come across a good song I add it to my playlist at a competitors subscription service. Why not introduce unlimited downloads of the songs you actually like like Spotify allows you to do? Call it Nokia Music Unlimited or something like that and charge the same price. I’m positive you would get quite a few subscriptions.
http://twitter.com/jmrolenc Jan Martin RolencWill the service be available in the Czech Republic?
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003635518214 Gustav ChristenssonSo that’s the reason behind the “Standard Quality” label in Nokia Music…
http://mobihalo.wordpress.com/ Ayush Mathuris that song not saving problem solved?
http://www.facebook.com/sushovan.majumdar Sushovan MajumdarPlease tell me if this will work on Nokia Lumia 920 which I bought from Dubai & using in India? cause right now nokia music is not working. Only it plays my own songs. I don’t see the mix radio options. PLease let me know.
rynkxI think you might need to re-authorize your device. I’m also using a Dubai bought phone in India and I can use the full feature-set in Nokia Music app. If you were already using Nokia Music on another mobile device (WP7.5 or even symbian), then you have to go to the Nokia Music website and replace you previous device’s IMEI with your current one. Thats what I had to do before it would start working.
http://www.facebook.com/sushovan.majumdar Sushovan MajumdarI was not using nokia music earlier. Can you please let me know how to go about this? Customer care didn’t help . Please provide me the steps so that i can use all features of nokia music.
Francois MagnyOh yeah, I would pay for this. I also pay for a Zune Pass/ Xbox Music pass but the Windows Phone 8 implementation of the service is, well, a downgrade from Windows Phone 7. Anywho… bring this service to Canada.
semo???? ???????? ??
kevinObviously this will not be coming to Canada since your previous nokia music isn’t in Canada. Thanx a lot!
http://twitter.com/Hdrules Hradayesh NimavatNice to see finally Nokia music updating to 320 kbps quality I guess though I hope Nokia music and Microsoft will provide music in flac format one day….
maharshi83Hi my Nokia music no longer working it just shows my music and settings.I tried re installing and even restored to factory settings and re installed still the same issue.I can’t see any mix radio or gigs offline music in the menu.I am trying to take this issue to blogs no body cares.Nokia please do take care.
vmgunzGreat!! Love Nokia Music – Mix Radio. Will it be available in Singapore??
http://www.facebook.com/kristijan.sasilo Kristijan SašiloLove it! Unfortunately, can’t enjoy it properly. Please, Nokia. You should offer this service to every country where you sell (officially) Lumia devices. It only hurts you and the entire platform if the service is fragmented. Same goes to Microsoft and their Xbox services. I live in Croatia and I would GLADLY pay for either Xbox Music Pass or Nokia Music+. My Windows Phone is sad and lonely without all these cloud multimedia services and my Windows Phone experience is not complete.
http://www.facebook.com/omonrise Arseny StarostinI guess its not that Nokia isn’t trying too, just in many countries the lable organizations are reallllyyyy hard to deal with
jiipeeNokia, where is the n9 version? You promoted the device heavily here on Conversations and L800 did not arrive that much later, but it had the service on board.
Is this the same Jyrki, former head of Meego, who emailed:
“I am pleased to confirm that we will continue to support N9. We will be putting out another SW release and even after that there will be support as needed.
Best regards,
Jyrki Rosenberg
Head of MeeGo”
I’ve got a 1 year Xbox Music Pass right now and due to the horrid experience they released for managing music / media I may just call that a loss and jump on with Nokia Music+.
rajavelu_v+1for nokia music +
http://www.geekzone.co.nz/ Mauricio FreitasWell, not very excited since it wasn’t available in New Zealand before, it’s not available now.
rasa.jituSame thing goes here in Malaysia..screwed….
http://www.facebook.com/dannyjsteiger Danny SteigerLOVE IT. I have been so frustrated with the lack of Spotify on WP8, and the xbox music experience has been a nightmare. I’m also hoping that we can download individual songs, as opposed to mixes?
From these individual songs hopefully we can make our own playlists (mixing genres, etc).
Thank you Nokia for doing such a great job of supporting your hardware with amazing software solutions. You have created a loyal customer through all of this.
JeremyExactly. I recently discontinued my Spotify Premium account because I can’t get it on my 920. I really hope we can get individual tracks, or even whole CD downloads, and not just mixes…
Stomp949Please create an RT app for Surface owners.
CosimoAwesome news, but can Canada get in on the Nokia music action?
manoj252Please include Canada this time around.
Sheng-Chieh Susome love for Taiwan please!
http://twitter.com/K_arlstrom Jonas KarlströmIm buying !
Spotify, go fuck yourself :)
What will be the bitrate of the songs downloaded with Nokia Music+? 320kbps?
Lukaaspunktalso for nokia n9?
