What Is So Amazing About Graphene? The New Super Material
The World's Strongest Material- 200 times stronger than Steel! Yet Flexible Conducts Electricity Better than Copper Graphene compares in significance with the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We will call Graphene the Graphene Age. Graphene is an allotrope (form) of carbon which consists of a single layer of carbon atomes. They form a hexagonal lattice of 2D material. It is ultra-light but also extremely tough. It is 200 times stronger than steel yet flexible. It is the thinnest material possible and is transparent. It is a better conductor than copper and is a perfect barrier. The University of Manchester is working with Graphene in the following applications: Energy Membranes Composites and Coatings Biomedical Sensors Electronics Wearable Technology Unbrakeable Mobiles Indium-tin oxide is the material used for touch screens now, but it is brittle. Graphene's flexibility and durability together with its conductivity properties will transform everyday devices. You could wear...
