Global Graphene Technologies 1.39

Graphene is the new wonder material of the world.

It was discovered first in 2004 by two university professors at The University Of Manchester. It consists of carbon atoms arranged in a perfect hexagonal lattice. Another structure of carbon is graphite where the carbon atoms are laid out and stacked up in sheets. If you separate out just one atomic layer of graphite, this is graphene. Due to it only being one atom thick it has some amazing properties.
- It has now proven to be the strongest material known to mankind, even stronger than its cousin Diamond.
- Graphene is extremely light
- It conducts electricity and heat better than almost any other material.
- It can stretch up to 20% without losing any strength or conductivity
- It is organic and not harmful to the human body

The possibilities for such a material are endless and are bound to change the world. Everything from instant desalination through to curing cancer is now on our doorstop. Follow this page for updates in the graphene space and how the world is evolving
