Join the graphene gurus, Dr. Kaner and postdoctoral student Maher El-Kady, at @MouserElec on Twitter for a live one-on-one Q&A. Get your questions ready as they talk about the groundbreaking technique of fabricating micro-scale, graphene-based supercapacitors â”� devices that will revolutionize the way we power our world. The Twitter party is part of the exciting new Empowering Innovation Together™ series on Portable Power and the Future Supercapacitor that kicked off earlier this year. The new series captures insights from some of the most influential people in power management and storage, including Dr. Kaner and leading power technology companies Infineon and TDK.

“You don’t get many opportunities in your life to talk to a true innovator who has the potential to transform how we power our devices and cars,” said Kevin Hess, Mouser’s Senior Vice President of Marketing. “With the trials conducted by Dr. Kaner and other researchers at UCLA, they have taken power and miniaturization to a new level.”

A single, two-dimensional sheet of graphene, which has the thickness of only a single atom in the third dimension, can charge and discharge a hundred to a thousand times faster than standard batteries.

Get up to speed with the newest portable power innovations, and don’t miss the opportunity to log on to Twitter to ask your questions to Dr. Kaner directly during this exclusive social media event. To join the discussion, simply go to http://twitter.com/mouserelec at 2 p.m. (CT) on Wednesday, February 17.
