Bill Gates condom challenge 'to be met' by graphene scientists

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has awarded scientists $100,000 (£60,000) to create stronger, thinner condoms from the new "wonder material".

The substance will be mixed with latex to produce a material which will encourage use by "enhancing sensation".

Graphene, the thinnest, strongest material known, was first isolated at the University of Manchester in 2004.

Dr Papa Salif Sow, senior program officer on the HIV team at the foundation, said a "redesigned condom that overcomes inconvenience, fumbling or perceived loss of pleasure would be a powerful weapon in the fight against poverty".

Dr Aravind Vijayaraghavan, who will lead the researchers, said that since it was isolated, "people have wondered when graphene will be used in our daily life".

Excellent idea, the never ending search. I hope they will be free in impoverished countries.

Microhard?! :laughcry: At least you didn't name it Micromember! :floorlaugh:

{Too bad they will contain latex, or any other materials that are allergens to some.}
