Artist's depiction of the intercalated multilayer-graphene inductor (center blue spiral), which exploits kinetic inductance to catalyze the Internet of Things. Background images show its predecessors made of conventional metal spirals (top left) or discrete coil inductors, which work solely on the principle of magnetic inductance.

A key element in modern electronics, the inductor has barely changed since it was invented in 1831. A new materials approach yields a better alternative.
