Graphene
Graphene is the strongest material known to science at the present time. It is 200 times stronger than steel. It is the strongest, thinnest, and lightest material in the world. Graphene is single layer of pure carbons arranged in a hexagonal lattice pattern. It is so thin it is considered to be a 2 dimensional object. This newly discovered material might be one of the most important known to man. It has amazing thermal and electrical conductivity properties. It is also very malleable but at the same time it is very strong. This means it can be used for many different things such as high capacity batteries, flat screens televisions, and for very small computer chips. But how is graphene made? It’s made by taking special adhesive tape to collect residue from graphite, the same material used in everyday pencils. This easy and simple yet groundbreaking experiment was conducted by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. They later won the Nobel Prize for Physics because of this experiments. Graphene is definitely going to have an impact on the world.
