Ever wanted a whole range of MIDI controllers so thin, it can be stacked like paper? Well, according to scientists, that could be a possibility in the not-so-distant future!

Harnessing the technology of graphene-based ink, the Cambridge Innovation and Knowledge Centre is experimenting with one-atom-thick electrically conductive structures, allowing for keyboards, pads, and anything electronic to be engineered paper-thin.

Researchers have been successful creating basic keyboards using the research based on Graphene, like the one seen in the video . Graphene has a number of other interesting properties,  including extreme flexibility and optical transparency, allowing for a paper-thin LCD-type display, thus providing for the devices to have basic readouts as well.
