A pioneering new technique that encourages the wonder material graphene to “talk” could revolutionise the global audio and telecommunications industries.
Researchers from the University of Exeter have devised a ground-breaking method to use graphene to generate complex and controllable sound signals. In essence, it combines speaker, amplifier and graphic equaliser into a chip the size of a thumbnail.
Traditional speakers mechanically vibrate to produce sound, with a moving coil or membrane pushing the air around it back and forth. It is a bulky technology that has hardly...
Seven years ago this week Exeter Rugby Club achieved – at that time – their finest hour, defeating rivals Bristol to book their place amongst the great and the good of English Rugby.
Today, a new and amazing chapter was written into the history of the Chiefs as Rob Baxter’s side triumphed at Twickenham, lifting the Aviva Premiership crown for the first time in the club’s history.
Since that wet and wild night at the Memorial Stadium there have been many happy memories, but this has eclipsed them all.
It was seven years today that Exeter Chiefs finally arrived at English rugby’s top table.
On a wet and wild night at the Memorial Stadium, the dream became reality for Rob Baxter and his side as they overcame rivals Bristol in the inaugural Championship Play-Off Final.
In the years that have followed, Devon’s finest have not only defied the many doubters who claimed their existence in the Aviva Premiership would be short-lived, but instead they have built on the firm foundations to propel themselves as one of the rising forces within the English and European game.

Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has told his players to take nothing for granted when they take on Blackpool in the League Two play-off final on Sunday.
The Grecians secured a spot in the final by scoring a 95th-minute winner against Carlisle United at St James Park on Thursday, May 18, but Tis has warned his players to come down from the elation of that moment as the job is not complete yet.
Having got City to Wembley twice before in the Conference play-off finals when they lost to Morecambe 2-1 in 2007 and then beat Cambridge United a year later, Tis has experienced the...
Thomas Waldrom is ready to put the seal on a season of hard graft by helping Exeter Chiefs to lift the Aviva Premiership title for the first time against Wasps tomorrow (2:30pm).
Having missed out 12 months ago due to injury as his club-mates were edged out by Saracens in last season's end of season showpiece, the free-scoring No.8 is back in harness for the this weekend's final encounter at a packed out Twickenham.
Waldrom is no stranger to playing at English Rugby HQ, having featured there in the past for both club and country, but now he wants to help the Chiefs reach...

The highs and lows of the Premier League are over for another year and in regards to Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hull , that may just be another few years. There’s been joy and there’s been sorrow, dullness and brilliance, but just has been the best showing of the top flight this season?
We can’t help but pick Bournemouth 4-3 Liverpool. A freezing day on the South Coast saw the Cherries wow Jurgen Klopp’s men with an unbelievable and unpredictable comeback.
