However, the wallpaper's real smarts are down to an ink - based
on graphene oxide.
By 3D printing the bacteria in precise patterns
on the graphene oxide, they hope to carve lines of conductivity, like tiny wires, on an otherwise non-conductive surface.
Dr Joshi has an international reputation in this area, having published many highly cited articles including one in the journal Science
on graphene oxide - based filtration in 2014 while working at the University of Manchester with Nobel Laureate Sir Andre Geim.

graphene -
oxide membrane systems can be built
on smaller scales making this technology accessible to countries which do not have the financial infrastructure to fund large plants without compromising the yield of fresh water produced.
Researchers at Umeå University, together with researchers at Uppsala University and Stockholm University, show in a new study how nitrogen doped
