Graphene, the material of the future
It is transparent, flexible, extraordinarily strong, waterproof, abundant, economical and conducts electricity better than any other known metal. We are talking about single layer graphene powder , the material that fascinates scientists and industry because of its fantastic properties. Although it was first synthesized in 2004, it rose to fame in 2010 when its discoverers, researchers of Russian origin Andre Geim (Sochi, 1958) and Konstantin Novoselov (Nizhny Tagil, 1974) received the Nobel Prize in Physics . As Andre Geim pointed out at the time, the potential applications of graphene are so many that they were not even able to list them. This versatile material will allow manufacturing from electronic devices with flexible and transparent screens and ultra-fast batteries to powerful solar panels, not forgetting applications in aeronautics, medicine and other sectors that are currently being researched. In addition, it is a...
