An innovative fire alarm wallpaper can sound an alert in the presence of fire, and help keep the fire from spreading.
The wallpaper, created by teams from Shanghai Institute of Ceramics and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is made up of graphene oxide and hydroxyapatite nanowires, both of which are fire-resistant. In addition to helping prevent a fire from spreading, the graphene oxide sensors in the wallpaper will conduct electricity when heated, triggering an alarm within two seconds if extreme heat is detected.
