Graphene Analysis

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It is the thinnest known material and is also the strongest material ever measured. Graphene is also the best conductor of heat and electricity ever measured.

Graphene was first isolated in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester. They used a method known as "scotch tape" to peel away layers of graphite until they had a single layer of carbon atoms. Since then, graphene has been the subject of intense research due to its unique properties. In 2010, Geim and Novoselov were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene".

Graphene has many potential applications, including:

- Electronics

- Sensors

- Solar cells

- Water filtration

- Supercapacitors

- Drug delivery

- Composite materials

- Sports equipment

- Aircraft

and more...
