Safer condoms will be one of the first products developed at the new National Graphene Institute in Manchester.
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.
