Our story - acknowledging our past, celebrating our present, creating our future

How the World's Thinnest Material Will Change Our Lives

DESCRIPTION

General descriptionImagine your electronic portable devices even smaller, lighter, faster, flexible and with zero heat dissipation. Imagine you can have them printed onto your glasses, onto your home or car windows, implanted into your skin, all communicating with you and each other to make an invisible and intelligent interconnected network of things that can sense and respond efficiently to the environment. Is this a distant, imaginary future? No, in fact, this is already starting to become reality, also thanks to the nanostructured materials. One of these is graphene, the world's strongest and lightest material. At just one atom thick, graphene is an ultra-thin carbon sheet stronger than steel, but flexible, transparent, biocompatible, and conducting electrical current and heat better than gold. As scientists discover new ways to synthesize and harness graphene, prepare to be amazed.CreatorFrancesca LacopiDate created2014ContributorMarketing and CommunicationsPeople depictedFrancesca LacopiLanguageEnglishIs or was included inKnow More in 60 Seconds Video Series
