Graphene news magazine: video

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:

Perfect semiconductor and transistor, desalination, sonic cloaking, optics and light control, batteries, paper, fabrics and textile, robot muscles.

Making graphene from waste

We can now make graphene from sources that are inexpensive, including cookies, dog feces and other waste.

See the vid below for demonstration, or see a pretty good source article from Guardian on the whole story.

Graphene sandwich modelling and cutting

I wanted to share a video and an article about modelling a several layer thick graphene composites. In the video, the material is being cut by an ion beam, re-positioned at a very small scale.

Video: Why should Europe invest in graphene?

Nice video with people from science around the Europe explaining why graphene is an important discovery and why it should be invested into.
