Bend It, Charge It, Dunk It: Graphene, the Material of Tomorrow - NYTimes.com - NYTimes.com
I just want to say one word to you. Just one word.
No, fans of “The Graduate,” the word isn’t “plastics.”It’s “graphene.”Graphene is the strongest, thinnest material known to exist. A form of carbon, it can conduct electricity and heat better than anything else. And get ready for this: It is not only the hardest material in the world, but also one of the most pliable.
Only a single atom thick, it has been called the wonder material.
Graphene could change the electronics industry, ushering in flexible devices, supercharged quantum computers, electronic clothing and computers that can interface with the cells in your body.
