the simple show explains graphene this
is graphene let's call him mr. G
he is the first material that is
two-dimensional this gives him a unique
set of properties since 1859 many
scientists who are looking for graphene
using complex experiments but the first
crystals of graphene were discovered in
2004 using a very simple and effective
method namely ordinary scotch tape
during Friday evening experiments in
Manchester scientists noticed small
parts of graphene on the tape used to
clean a graphite stone the two
scientists at Drake I'm and Konstantin
Novoselov
were awarded with a Nobel Prize in
Physics 2010 for this simple but
groundbreaking experiment
thanks to the scotch tape method this
area of science grew extremely quickly
and today hundreds of laboratories all
over the world deal with different
aspects of gee research what makes mr. G
a ready super material is the
combination of his unique properties G
is the first 2d crystal ever known to us
the finished objects ever obtained and
also the nicest one G is the world's
strongest material harder than diamonds
and about 300 times stronger than steel
G conducts electricity much better than
copper G is a transparent material G is
bendable and can take any form you want
and this unique super material gave
birth to a new class of crystals that
also are just one SM thin and what's
more fantastic is that these can be
shuffled with each other to engineer new
materials on demand to meet the special
needs of different industries all these
factors
graphene swiftly from the G research
laboratory to the G marketplace driven
by demand from industries where such
super materials are required aerospace
automotive electronics energy storage
coatings and paints communications
sensor soda oil etc thanks to mass
production methods intensively being
developed expect to meet mr. G in person
soon
