with Poh Hui Qing at the National University of Singapore
Throughout 15 weeks of exploration in conjunction with the Center for Advanced 2D Materials.
Prompted with an open ended use of the revolutionary material, Graphene, we began our interest with taking ideas from every sector of life and engaging our resources both of graduate students and tenured professors to test feasibility along with likelihood of these concepts being able to be produced in the
Concentrating on an activity in which we already engage in, walking, we are able to take advantage of the motions a user already utilizes.
A two part sole, the lower to generate a small electrical charge, and the upper to act as a super-capacitor and hold the charge until able to discharge through cordless charging pads into technologies such as cell phones or cameras.
