Graphene

Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick. It is remarkably strong for its very low weight and it conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency.

  1. graphene can change the coarse of technology. some had told that the year 2040 will not be the same way as seen in the pictures, but with graphene, I think the future will be better than ever expected.

  2. yes and then the science in future might be very different from the one now.

  3. Graphene is very useful for the future use.
    In the year 2030 and the years ahead the whole world be different. People will start using more technology.Science and technolgy will be different.

  4. The only problem with graphene is that high-quality graphene is a great conductor that does not have a band gap (it can’t be switched off). Therefore to use graphene in the creation of future nano-electronic devices, a band gap will need to be engineered into it, which will, in turn, reduce its electron mobility to that of levels currently seen in strained silicone films. This essentially means that future research and development needs to be carried out in order for graphene to replace silicone in electrical systems in the future.

    1. WELL THAT IS TRUE THAT IS NEEDS A BAND GAP BUT THE NEW TECHNOLOGY ALSO HELPS U IF U DONT SWITCH OFF THE GRAPHENE CAUSE WHEN U ARE IN A HURRY AND U HAVE TO SWITCH IT ON THAT TIME THERE MAY BE SOME NEGATIVES

  6. graphene is a material which conducts electicity because it is made of graphite which is a good conductor of electicity and can take the place of tablets and smartphones in the future

  7. Some people beleive one disadvantage of this is that it oxidizes very quickly which may make it unstable unlike alluminium

  8. One recent survey in the patent office showed that graphene had over 7000 patents with samsung taking over 400 of them.

  9. WELL GRAPHENE HAS MANY BRILLIANT PROPERTIES SUCH AS IT IS THE THINNEST MATERIAL ON THE EARTH , IT IS THE MOST CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL IN EARTH TILL NOW AND IT IS 200 TIMES STRONGER THAN STEEL!!!!!!!

  10. it is considered as a large aromatic molecule some what like benze rings it is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon(PAH). graphene in the future will be used to make water proof clothes.

  11. graphene was used to describe single sheets of graphite as a constituent of graphite intercalation compounds.Graphene is a crystalline allotrope of carbon(c).

  12. oled (organic light emitting diode) is a light emitting diode in which the emissive electroluminiscent layer is a flim of organic compound which emits light in response of a electric current

  13. Graphene can repair holes in its sheet. Researches also report that sheets of graphene one atom thick are a hundred times more chemically reactive than thicker sheets.

  14. It's stretchable electrodes make it very comfortable to carry with. I'm sure it'll be used by many in the future for it's wonderful features.

  16. Graphene is pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick. It is remarkably strong for its very low weight (100 times stronger than steel[1]) and it conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency.[2] While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab in 2004.[3] Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the bipolar transistor effect, ballistic transport of charges and large quantum oscillations.

    Technically, graphene is a crystalline allotrope of carbon with 2-dimensional properties. In graphene, carbon atoms are densely packed in a regular sp2-bonded atomic-scale chicken wire (hexagonal) pattern. Graphene can be described as a one-atom thick layer of graphite. It is the basic structural element of other allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule, the limiting case of the family of flat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

  17. Graphene is used to boost not only the capacity and charge rate of batteries but the longetivity too!Using graphene electronics can be charged in seconds instead of minutes and hours.
