The amazing material that promises flexible displays, faster cars and bullet-proof suits

Up until recently, graphene was heralded as the wonderstuff to end all wonderstuff, but there’s a new super-material in town, and its name is nanocellulose. From bendable batteries and flexible screens to superhero-like body armour, nanocellulose could revolutionise our lives.
