Graphene is a form of carbon in which the atoms are arranged in a flat hexagon lattice like microscopic chicken wire, a single atom thick. It is not only the thinnest material in the world, but also one of the strongest and hardest. Among its other properties, graphene is able to conduct electricity as well as copper does and to conduct heat better than any other known material, and it is practically transparent. Physicists say that it could eventually rival silicon as a basis for computer chips, serve as a sensitive pollution-monitoring material, improve flat-screen televisions, and enable the creation of new materials and novel tests of quantum weirdness.

Leading scientists have started believing that ‘Graphene is the next miracle thing to have been found out which will change the electronics industry completely. However, one stumbling block so far seem to be manipulating graphene into usable forms. Another has been manufacturing graphene on a commercial scale.

Let’s hope more and more related discoveries are made on this great invention known as ‘graphene’ which will be a big boost to safe environment and healthy modern living!
