  • Graphene is a form of carbon that could bring us bulletproof armor and space elevators, improve medicine, and make the internet run faster - some day. For the past 15 years, consumers have been hearing about this wonder material and all the ways it could change everything. Is it really almost here, or is it another promise that is perpetually just one more breakthrough away?

    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.

    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.

      Hi. Yes awesome. I don't know about Verge Science but there has been significant if not miraculous strides made in the production of Graphene the last year and a half.
      The leading group doing the work is the chemistry labs at Rice University ran by professor Dr. James Tour.
      This is one of the latest videos Tour put out. It's a general overview of several things he has in the works but it's a good place to start digging into Graphene progress to date. It's actually quite remarkable.
      Here is a link; Good luck and enjoy!

      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 have a question.
    If graphene is a material that puts carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern which makes it really strong and durable.
    And if sound travels faster through solids than it does with gases.
    And because graphene is a solid that is formed in a special way.
    How fast would sound travel through graphene.
    Could it be so fast and also still cheap enough to be used as a way to talk to someone. Probably not beating a phone on speed but still.
    If you were to get a wire if graphene and play sound through it. would it go incredibly fast.
    Would you even hear a sound. It's possible that because of the form of the material that it might spread the sound so much that you can't hear anything from the other side

    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.

      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.
