Graphene The Universal Material Of The Future

What is Graphene?

You can't open a tech site today and NOT find something about Graphene, the material some scientists say will change almost every aspect of our lives. But what is Graphene? Read on to learn about it's amazing properties and the almost unlimited uses for this Age-defining material.


Lately, companies like Samsung, Apple, Sony and IBM have been chasing down the same material, they want to be the first to get their hands on Graphene.


Nokia has just won a $1.35 BILLION grant to develop Graphene.


"Graphene" is a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene. It was a term coined by a scientist, Hanns-Peter Boehm. He described it as single-layer carbon foils in 1962. That is, "graphene" is the individual carbon layers in graphite - simple enough, right?


Graphene is a chicken-wire-like structure of carbon atoms. It is highly conductive, incredibly light-weight and 200 times stronger than steel. It's been said that it would take the weight of an elephant standing on a pencil to pierce a layer of Graphene - but then IT WOULD REPAIR ITSELF!


What Can Graphene Do?

Here are a few of the almost endless uses for this material:


Cheap solar cells 

Computer data storage material 

Nanotube electronic storage tubes (batteries) 

The MOST conductive material EVER discovered 

Replaces silicon in semiconductors (almost a reality!) 

Thinnest anti-corrosion material ever (and transparent) 

Flexible TV, computer and smartphone screens 

Medical Implants 

Automobile body material (repairs dents on its own!) 

INVISIBLE CLOAKS! No Joke! 

Plasmonic devices (data transmission at the ATOMIC LEVEL) 

Aircraft fuselage and military vehicles 

Pressed under enormous heat and pressure will make a diamond


Are There Limitations to Graphene?

So what can't it do? In one study, researchers in Northwestern University found that certain Graphene sheets made with water, although stronger than steel, will break down when put in contact with water again - not good for that airplane ride!


Where Does It Come From?


Graphene is made, not found in nature.

Those burned cookies in your oven have enough carbon to make a Graphene sheet large enough to cover a football field! That's about $5 billion worth of graphene!
