Graphene... Yeah it's 2022 now. It'll be 2023 soon. So far it's been used in batteries primarily, less so in circuit boards, it has been prototyped in the medical industry though! They figured they could make little low powered nanobots that will be made primarily of graphene, letting them charge as they travel through your body, no clue if that research actually went anywhere. Edit: I am stating the year because they made predictions you peanut.

yeah they definitely are hypocrites in the sense that they say the media is over hyping it and expecting it to come tomorrow and then go do exactly that. however, they did also cover WHY it is better, it is hands down the strongest material known to man for its given "thinness", and is also the best electrical conductor that could be used in practical applications like making cpu/gpu/ or whatever SoC you could dream up. the only thing better at conducting than graphene is super conductors, which require temperatures so low that they are impractical for consumer use. to put simply on why its difficult to manufacture, its not that making the material is hard, but making it in USEFUL forms is difficult. Example, they can make millions of tiny flakes of the material, however the process to make a single connected sheet the size of your finger nail has not come along yet, they need more precise methods other than just using school tape on a block of graphite. i hope this helps. EDIT: Dont quote me on this but i was just reading further in the comment section and apparently there IS a method that came up recently that can reliably make very large sheets of what is practically pure graphene. i havent done any research on it in a couple years so im sure there are some things i might have been able to cover but oh well, just some blanket info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was researching graphene for a school project. it has a lot of problems before it can be widely used in the world. But if we can overcome those problems, I'm sure graphene can be a really useful material! I'm looking forward to flexible cell phones made of graphene in the future. I hope to see a world where graphene is commonly used.
Ive only studied it when it first look like a miracle material. Samsung was interested in using it in their batteries as well. That theory was a world changer for batteries, yet nothing still. Anyhow my question to you is, what do you think the biggest problems are now? They didnt really touch on it. Back then it was the gathering and tedious process of extraction through graphite.
Not really that difficult to understand. It's all about money. Until manufacturers can make money off graphene they will continue using more traditional materials.

I used to walk past the National Graphene Institute in Manchester every day back when I was in college. It fills you with a weird sense of pride knowing great tech was discovered and refined in your home city.
My marriage is made of graphene. It is really dark, it's literally spread as thin as it can get, it hasn't made good on its promises of a better future, and initially it was only a couple of flakes held together by scotch tape.
Is it the content or the video quality of the content that you admire? There's not a lot of science discussed in it, but there are some disturbing cues as to the video's purpose - lots of money for high quality production, mention of RFID chips, huge but mostly empty production building, and the choice of pages from a book about graphene, where the author bashes Christianity. Something is amiss here.....
Still waiting for my graphene-enhanced clothes to ship from 2019. Wait, we're near 5 years after the video, maybe we'll start to see graphene everywhere, no hype means high hopes.
@@VoraciousSergal They knew about the properties of carbon, its properties (as far as they knew before 2010). They researched, studied, looked at previous records of experiments, tests, theories and hypotheses... yes, they did great research and studies to come to that conclusion that with a carbon and a duct tape you could literally do such a wonderful thing as graphene. In this case, it was neither luck nor coincidence. Just long-standing science and research.
This has me concerned, especially when compared to plastics. My concern relates to economic, environmental, and animal/human health. Like plastics, it seems graphene products could prove to be disastrous to the environment, if not properly processed, or, if anything like plastics, overconsumed.
A graduate student in the Chemistry Dept in UT El Paso discovered how to make graphene from used motor oil. This was in 2014. The cost of an ounce made back then from graphite cost around $240. The cost of an ounce made from used motor oil cost 6 cents an ounce. The discoverer left the university and has been very quiet about his discovery. I hope he is building a factory making tons of graphene. Imagine space ships made from this material.
Actually, I would consider plastic to be a wonder material (for better or worse though). Probably more than half the objects in your surroudings are either partially or completely made out of it. And that is impressive (almost as much as it's ability to pollute)
Plastic can remain stable for centuries. Paper on the other hand releases methane when it breaks down in landfill in fairly short time. Go bury a plastic straw and a paper straw and see what happens to each over time. And ask yourself what became of the paper.
@@alohadubs7683 Not really, you actually want a hammer that can help you concentrate your thunder powers. I came up with a really cool name: Mjölner. I don't think i've heard anything like it, sounds pretty nice.
The thing about groundbreaking technologies over the past 30 years is that people almost never rave about them. Lithium polymer batteries practically tiptoed onto the scene.
I'd say blockchain, AI, quantum, electric vehicles and fusion are some obvious exceptions. There are techs that take the world by storm and some less exciting ones that sneak by. Tech that can be utilized or has the potential to impact everyones life directly usually is discussed en masse,
@@JunkBondTraderblock chain was a stakeholder buzzword, we've yet to make true AI, EVs are real but we don't have fusion yet either, end of the day aside from EVs most those you just listed basically amounted to empty hype
"Graphene might not be a wonder material any more than Plastic is" Okay but, plastics were literally a world changer. You're really underplaying that it DID have a massive impact. We rely on it daily and our lives are so much better for it. It's *huge*. I don't understand how you can compare graphene to that like it's not a big deal. This is like the oddest way to accidentally hype something up.
To Tails : Plastic were a mistake. They're an endocrine disrupting, estrogen mimicking, environmental pollutant that damages the respiratory and digestive systems of many smaller organisms. Plastic needs to be replaced ASAP!
Plastics are fine in general. The problem is that we use plastics for disposable products and "one-time-use" packaging. Your refrigerator has many plastic components. The milk carton inside your fridge is also plastic. Which product (fridge or milk carton) is more likely to end up in the ocean? Hint: It's the one you buy, use once, and throw away on a regular basis. The milk carton manufacturer _could_ have decided to use a wax-lined cardboard box (like you often see orange juice come in) which is much more biodegradable. But they went cheap and went plastic.

The production of this video is incredible. The music is so fitting and the visual filler is so interesting. This greatly amplifies the knowledge being spread about graphene. Excellent job.

That's the sad part, the video doesn't show the latest information. You should be hearing it first from my Graphene playlist on my channel.

Great video my engineering course briefly mentioned graphene this year but didn't really go into detail, this video went into that further detail and was really interesting, great vid.
rhn94 in my undergraduate physics degree we went over graphene fairly in depth in the course Physics of Modern Materials and Nanotech Materials I and II. I was well prepared for courses in graduate school on semi & superconductors and nanotransistor and nanoprocessor science and production. Even though these were for physics BS and PhD degrees, I imagine engineers would learn similar information if they’re specializing in material processing, chemical, or electrical engineering.
Remember that time we sawed the bottom part of the boat off and replaced it with a bunch of flex tape. Remember how the boat somehow worked better than it did before it was half flextape
Maxx Lux Because it’s true. Every single con you find of plastic is a testament to its usefulness. It doesn’t biodegrade easy, excellent for long lasting items. There is too much discarded and is harming wildlife, a testament to its cheapness, usefulness and availability.
Graphene is already in the market. It will make all the electronics and electric devices more efficient. We can be happy about that. The revolution is happening !
The graphene on the market is shit, because they need silver to make it conductive enough. MXene will be on the market in 2 years and is 100 times more conductive
Tons are produced each great. However not in the sheets that most the envisaged applications would require. It's mainly in powdery bits as seen in the video. What they need is long rolls with precise thicknesses and quality..That's not available with present technology
I am thinking about a thing. If Graphene is so strong and durable, is it going to be ricyclable or are we getting into an ocean of indestructible waste?
There is work being done on graphene disposal and other 2d materials. However, it's much slower than the work done on developing applications and production. It's this thing that happens when people get excited over something new and forget the smaller details. Like rushing to nuclear power without figuring out how to properly dispose of its waste or working on producing hydrogen gas from water without thinking of efficiently producing water that's suitable for hydrogen production. Pop science is filled with hypes and journalists who aren't scientists speaking as experts.
@@dexter2392 That's not how it works.... Different forms and compounds of the same atom have completely different properties. Compounds with the exact same constituent atoms have widely different properties too depending on the structure they arrange in. It's too complicated to put in layman terms to be honest but the bottom line is it's not the same as other forms of carbon.
@Neil Salmen Don't forget it's incompatible with old parts and now you need other expensive parts to use it. I don't get that whole technology hype nowadays; when you work in research you realize it's mostly new technology that fixes problems created with the past technology by introducing new problems for future technology to solve, then the cycle repeats. It's mostly shuffling between problems to keep consumers buying. Ofc that's for consumer technology, not things like Medicine.
To test flexphene, we cut this space shuttle in half, and put it back together using only flexphene! Rocketing through the atmosphere and the inside is completely fine!
There's no doubt, that graphene has been reserved for military applications since the early 2000's. We won't see graphene commercially available for maybe 10-15 years.
Man I’ve been talking about graphene for two years. I asked my dad who is s veteran about graphene body implants in the military he said they were already testing it about 15 years ago.
So those graphite words I was writing and transferring to the tape dispenser in school was this powerful world changing element? Well that's cool lemme get back to that-

A graduate student in the Chemistry Dept in UT El Paso discovered how to make graphene from used motor oil. This was in 2014. The cost of an ounce made back then from graphite cost around $240. The cost of an ounce made from used motor oil cost 6 cents an ounce. The discoverer left the university and has been very quiet about his discovery. I hope he is building a factory making tons of graphene. Imagine space ships made from this material.
Surprised this doesn't have more likes, love seeing recycled materials, and in this case it seems to be an upcycle.

Actually, I would consider plastic to be a wonder material (for better or worse though). Probably more than half the objects in your surroudings are either partially or completely made out of it. And that is impressive (almost as much as it's ability to pollute)
its
Composites like glass filled nylon are the true wonder materials.
Yeah I wonder how many plastic companies from the 20's and 30's worked out as investments.
Isn't its ability to pollute FIRST and FOREMOST? What's going on with our air? Skies? Water? Oceans?
Plastic can remain stable for centuries. Paper on the other hand releases methane when it breaks down in landfill in fairly short time. Go bury a plastic straw and a paper straw and see what happens to each over time. And ask yourself what became of the paper.

"Graphene might not be a wonder material any more than Plastic is"
Okay but, plastics were literally a world changer. You're really underplaying that it DID have a massive impact. We rely on it daily and our lives are so much better for it. It's *huge*. I don't understand how you can compare graphene to that like it's not a big deal. This is like the oddest way to accidentally hype something up.

To Tails : Plastic were a mistake.
They're an endocrine disrupting, estrogen mimicking, environmental pollutant that damages the respiratory and digestive systems of many smaller organisms.
Plastic needs to be replaced ASAP!
Plastics are fine in general. The problem is that we use plastics for disposable products and "one-time-use" packaging. Your refrigerator has many plastic components. The milk carton inside your fridge is also plastic. Which product (fridge or milk carton) is more likely to end up in the ocean? Hint: It's the one you buy, use once, and throw away on a regular basis. The milk carton manufacturer _could_ have decided to use a wax-lined cardboard box (like you often see orange juice come in) which is much more biodegradable. But they went cheap and went plastic.
Hemp > plastic
The difference is that plastics had the sponsorship of literally every big company, so they were able to shoot their products out much faster

Great video my engineering course briefly mentioned graphene this year but didn't really go into detail, this video went into that further detail and was really interesting, great vid.
Could've been Materials science/engineering
rhn94 in my undergraduate physics degree we went over graphene fairly in depth in the course Physics of Modern Materials and Nanotech Materials I and II. I was well prepared for courses in graduate school on semi & superconductors and nanotransistor and nanoprocessor science and production. Even though these were for physics BS and PhD degrees, I imagine engineers would learn similar information if they’re specializing in material processing, chemical, or electrical engineering.

Appreciated, but if you read it carefully he is looking for a product with graphene, not graphene itself.
The graphene on the market is shit, because they need silver to make it conductive enough. MXene will be on the market in 2 years and is 100 times more conductive
Tons are produced each great. However not in the sheets that most the envisaged applications would require. It's mainly in powdery bits as seen in the video.
What they need is long rolls with precise thicknesses and quality..That's not available with present technology
The quiet of the storm for this one has lasted a really long
The verge has made me interested in science.
I am thinking about a thing. If Graphene is so strong and durable, is it going to be ricyclable or are we getting into an ocean of indestructible waste?
There is work being done on graphene disposal and other 2d materials. However, it's much slower than the work done on developing applications and production.
It's this thing that happens when people get excited over something new and forget the smaller details. Like rushing to nuclear power without figuring out how to properly dispose of its waste or working on producing hydrogen gas from water without thinking of efficiently producing water that's suitable for hydrogen production.
Pop science is filled with hypes and journalists who aren't scientists speaking as experts.
We don't need to recycle it, it's completely harmless, it's just carbon. Carbon is everywhere.
@@dexter2392 That's not how it works.... Different forms and compounds of the same atom have completely different properties. Compounds with the exact same constituent atoms have widely different properties too depending on the structure they arrange in. It's too complicated to put in layman terms to be honest but the bottom line is it's not the same as other forms of carbon.
@Neil Salmen Don't forget it's incompatible with old parts and now you need other expensive parts to use it.
I don't get that whole technology hype nowadays; when you work in research you realize it's mostly new technology that fixes problems created with the past technology by introducing new problems for future technology to solve, then the cycle repeats.
It's mostly shuffling between problems to keep consumers buying.
Ofc that's for consumer technology, not things like Medicine.
