Hi everyone,
Graphene is quickly becoming the leading scientific research area of our time. Graphene is basically a two dimensional material with amazing properties which, once harnessed, could drastically change the way we live our lives.
There is a wealth of information online about Graphene, but basically it consists of single-atom-thick layers of carbon. These layers are so thin that they only exist in 2 dimensions so don't have any depth. Due to this and their extremely tight honey-combed structure, they contain some very unusual properties. These consist of the potential to be the strongest material known to man being over 200 times stronger than steel, as well as the lightest. Graphene also has an incredible abilility to conduct heat and power (electrons) which opens up a new world of electronic advancements.

The two videos below explain what Graphene is and how it is created as well as some of the future applications of Graphene.
Stay tuned for further posts relating to the advancements and new discoveries around Graphene!
