Quick story

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. The discovery of graphene has been rewarded with Nobel Prize, in 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. It is real and has already been produced from graphite, the scale of production still remains the main restriction.

Most of the research is still at the early stage and graphene products have not yet reached the masses in commercial use, however there is a big push for investment into graphene.

Graphene, even though being the thinnest material ever, is super strong. Graphene may at first sound like science fiction, with all it's declared super attributes in many areas. Those include:

Graphene - What you may have missed by now


  1. Research in graphene has actually been rewarded with a nobel prize in physics / 2010 (Andre Geim, Konstantin Novoselov)
  2. Is called the 'perfect atomic lattice', because of its molecular structure, being one atom thick
