Is graphene starting to live up to its hype?

- When graphene was first isolated in 2004 the so called “super material” was meant to change the world. The material has remarkable properties - it is 200 times stronger than steel, transparent, extremely light, flexible and also exhibits excellent electrical conductivity. Twenty years on it is starting to live up to the original hype and is being incorporated into a wide range of materials and products.
RAZOR’s Reya El-Salahi traveled to Cambridge to meet Prof. Sir Colin Humphreys, Co-founder and CSO of Paragraf, one of the first companies in the world to mass produce graphene-based electronic devices. Founded with Dr. Simon Thomas and Ivor Guiney in 2018, after a breakthrough they made at the University of Cambridge, the company now produces enough graphene to make 150,000 electronic sensors a day.
Graphene was first isolated by the University of Manchester's Prof. Sir. Andre Geim and Prof. Sir. Konstantin Novoselov. Manchester has become the UK’s home of Graphene and 2D materials research. Opening the National Graphene Institute in 2015 and the Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre - known as the ‘GEIC’ in 2018. Apart from electronics, graphene is mostly incorporated into another material to lighten and strengthen it. It’s been used in building materials such as concrete, consumer products such as plastic bottles and in trainers, and also in the automotive and aerospace industries.
Finally! Technology is always over estimated in the short term and underestimated in the long term.
Yip! What they're doing with steam these days! (Joking. I agree with you.)
You've read Skeptic's Guide to the Future, haven't you?
@@michaeljames5936 are you joking about no one using steam engines any more? If so just check how electricity is generated
@@techmad8204true story, supercritical CO2 driven turbines are actually quite amazing.
Steam in Green nuclear power plant too.
But, CGTN is a Chinese government TV network? Is this a replay for CGTN?
It’s crazy how I remember watching tons of videos about graphene back in 2008/2011 and the main issue with it was the mass production of it, now it looks like that’s been kinda solve, it will be amazing to see the actual implementation of the material truly from now on.
Kinda like LEDs. We could produce red and green LEDs for decades. But without blue LEDs we couldn't make white LED. So green and yellow LEDs were just useless and people thought LEDs would never become a reality until one day an unexpected breakthrough happened.
Mass production or commercial production will probably be done in space. The microgravity supposedly creates a much more stable environment for the crystallizing of the structure. Imagine a factory sitting at a Lagrange Point just pumping out imperfection free football field-sized+ sheets of it all day everyday.
Im going to show this video to my granddaughter... she will never hear about this breakthrough in elementary or high school... don't want her to wait ten years to learn about this substance1
I remember reading about Graphene when it was first announced and thinking about the possibilities it opened up. I can't believe it's taken 20 years to start to see real development of some of the products. Hopefully I'll be alive long enough to see this and other 2D materials relatively commonplace. So the next 20 years or so had better be innovative! ;)
Because they give the best and most advanced applications to the military first.
They're keeping this technology partially hidden from the general public.
Nano technology has been decades in the making.
Can you imagine the sound quality of speakers with those membranes? I can't wait for the future
And microphone diaphragm's too. At that point we would probably be entirely limited by the health of your ears/hearing capabilities.
@@Owen2108 graphene replacement eardrums
Not just that, but energy efficiency. standard dynamic speakers have less that 1% efficiency at turning electricity into sound. A lighter diaphragm would greatly increase this. and its higher conductivity/gram could further decrease the mass of the voice coil. dynamic speaker technology could greatly benefit from this.
@@Termini_Man not just that, the voice-coil as well, thats the biggie, all the weight of the aluminium/copper wire, aluminium/fiberglass/stainless former... all can be replaced with graphene... insane weight savings.
ribbon tweeters would also be insane
@@narmale I did mention the voice coil being made from graphene, but yeah
As we get smaller in semiconductors processing node we couldn't achieve more energy efficiency forever, new materials are needed to make chips faster.
I remember when we started making silicon wafers ...this will only grow and grow 👍
Transistors have a long way to go. They are nowhere near the 2nm being claimed.
The graphene batteries on HobbyKing right now are only ~10% lighter, but due to less electrical resistance generate substantially less heat and can therefore be discharged/charged faster, or not need cooling at all. Teslas wouldn't need a cooling system for their batteries.
First time i used one was with a spot welder pulling 250+ Amps. I was pretty sure it was going to catch fire, but it didnt even get warm the battery can handle 500+ Amp draw, its wild.
Never thought i would be able to pull that kind of power from a lithium battery the size of a pack of ciggs. (I used to use big 12v lead acid batteries)
well "only" 10% lighter is pretty huge for a technology that is completely new, considering lithium batteries have many decades of development behind them
@TheHappinessOfThePursuit Thank you for your differentiated statement.

Thank you!
I met someone who worked on a company that installed MRI machines in hospitals. He said the main cost is a refrigerator the size of a small car and pumping a chemical around the scanner to keep it at a low temperature. And a lot of insulation to stop warm air getting into the scanner.
I thought Graphene would solve that by a higher temperature super conductor.
Nice to hear a positive story for a change.
Positive is good. Let’s keep it that way CGTN.

I am the waste tire derived fuel industry and we have a huge amount of carbon black. We are currently processing small scale graphene using various processes. Graphene is truly amazing!
Do you use the flash method? I heard that's the best way
A lot of technology will be halted because it’s not open source information, a lot of company’s keep it to themselves
The same thing that happened with plastic is happening with graphine. Everyone was skeptical until it took over. Hopefully we have ways to get rid of the stuff when we throw it out eventually for whatever reason.
Looks like everyone at each company got a new branded lab coat before filming. lol
As you should
Nothing makes words like fossil fuel, sustainability, and housing inequality sound better and more genuine than when one wears a new lab coat.
@@qrevere5546 not sure what you are getting at there?
Honestly, why not... LOL if I was running a successful business that was organically drawing in press interest, I'd absolutely tell them to wear their best or give them new ones... best foot forward and all... if they wore the perfectly clean but stained daily clothes on TV, few would take them as seriously
To be fair, a lot of the shots in this piece are in small chip fabs. While they may not necessarily need to be clean rooms at the scale they're working at, actual researchers working in these will wear lab coats with fibers engineered to shed less and not offgas as much.
Never forget to put on your safety glasses when interviewing scientists. It makes you questions sound so much more intelligent.
Doing the interview in an industrial/lab room provides an interesting backdrop - the downside is the safety requirements for being in the room.
Graphene in the eye, well that's would be like fiber glass 😂
I understand what you’re saying, but most companies have safety regulations that must be followed.
Hey it's cool
Hey it's cool! Cool for propaganda.
how do we keep them from becoming very hard tiny razer blades as scrap in the environment? inhaled dust. how does it stand and spread in fluids? Just questions. I like the idea of bucky tubes.
That's a good point actually
They are already in and on us.. how do wle stop them going hard... The old look really stiff if you think about it??
How does background sound improve our hearing of what’s being said in this presentation ?
Has there been any research on what graphene does when ending up in landfill/incinerator/nature? any risks?
What about the progress being made in flash graphene at Rice University by Dr. James Tour’s team?
What about it?😊
Thank God there are people like this in the world!
Brightens my day. Thank you for this news.
Graphene nice day 👋
Now I know how a hall effect joystick works and how is made do why is so precise and expansive.
Adding to concrete for highways would be huge.
Been curious about the research/production status of graphene for a while, as there haven't been too much about it in the news the past few years...
The hype died down a bit, while the researchers and engineers were working out the kinks, I guess.
Constructive feedback:
I feel a few lines got repeated and/or said by several people a bit too many times; specifically the electrical properties, that's already fairly famous.
Overall high quality production; got the right people to ask the questions, and had the right questions.
Seem to be prioritizing the right topics to cover at the right times....
Honestly surprised this channel hasn't gotten more followers... Algorithm has been killing it, I guess...
A spellbindingly interesting video! The sense of discovery and excitement of these researchers advancing the cutting edge of graphene and related material research comes through vividly. The presenter asked pertinent and thoughtful questions & organised the material very well into a coherent body. Thank you for uploading, and please make more of these videos.
Apparently I was way behind on graphene news. This is exciting!
failed to mention the number 1 use for this circuit, the hall effect is used in all the best joysticks, were talkin billions of chips for everything from video game controllers to remote vehicles and enhanced precision medical machinery... most likely manufacturing tolerances benefit from high quality hall sensors as well
They aren't using these hall effect sensors in joysticks they cost over $1000 per sensor. They use regular silicon sensors in joysticks that cost fractions of a penny.
@@backgammonbacon "...give it time" dade murphy
No, the number 1 use for hall sensors is in brushless motors ( also current clamp metres). Most brushless motors have at least 1 hall sensor. Brushless PC fans use a cheap hall sensor. Joysticks use microswitches and/or potentiometers. Ive never seen a joystick with a hall sensor, Its always a potentiometer per axis. Joysticks certainly won't be using expensive graphine hall sensors anytime soon.
@@simontay4851 lol fans dont need a hall sensor, the logic can read/track energy input directly. high-end radio controllers and the some pc/xbox/wiiu/switch controllers are already there, just cuz you never seen it... it shows ignorance to start your sentences with "no", very argumentative and smug.
yeah i hear "for very little money"... not sure where the $1000/chip came from.
Vapour Deposition is used to make Silicon Chips, that we all know and love. In a vacuum, one can make a cloud of the element that you need, but it is several atoms thick. For metals this is easy, because they melt at a particular heat level. Carbon is very different, and I don't know how they make a cloud of Carbon, that deposits only one atom thick.
The said in the video that it is a mixture of a few different carbon compound gases which react together on the 1000 degree surface of the deposition substrate, releasing the non-carbon elements in some other compound, presumably
It's whiskey - ethanol - and formaldehyde.
If you have done the salt / sugar crystal growing experiment where the crystals are 'grown' as the temperature drops , then I would expect the temperature of the substrate to be slowly lowered so that the cloud of disassociated atoms can grow the flat crystal. A slight electrical charge could promote deposition.
@@deansmith4752when the question is more informed than the answer …
For diamond growing, some use co2 and use electricity and plasma in a particular way to eject the oxygen atoms when they come in contact with the crystal structure. I suspect it is similar with graphene.
Im putting graphene into concrete/aggregates....im working with graphene for composites...pure consistent graphene at less than 200$ per kilo. Manufacturing in the USA. Now.
you guys should maybe try to normalize the volume levels of your videos
Hmmm can't wait for the first phone with graphene ARM processor that lasts a week on a charge, and graphene photosensors that can take perfect pictures.
But the big step will be, data centers that can be passively cooled, saving all that energy for other important things in life.
We have already accepted the current energy use. Rather than reduce energy use, they'll more likely scale up performance to match the current energy usage while serving juicier ads to you at your most vulnerable times. That's the true meaning of innovation 😎
I'm partly joking of course. But only partly.
Lots and lots of incentives point towards other outcomes than reduced power use, unfortunately. Apple make their devices thinner and lighter as major selling points when they could instead have fit a larger battery to get longer run time. Same thing happens with absolute performance numbers vs power consumption. Big performance number good, long battery life secondary!
im sort of disapointed when graphine was discowerd i was in my fourties i was looking forward to see the nano material revolutionizing th world now in my sixties im not sure if i could have the chance of seeing graphine revolution nuclear fusion or see watter disalination
There have recently been great leaps in desalination technology. I know one for three isn’t the best but i think it can be a new pillar of society. I’m glad you made it this far. Much love
practical application of nuclear fusion is getting relatively closer, probably in 5 years we can have small working modules that can supply power for 1 entire city. we all know what the REAL problem are when it comes to revolutionary tech. imagine nuclear fusion and its effect on fossil fuel power plants. these industries won't let new players come in that easily and take profit away. same problem why renewable energy research is taking too long even though we've had the tech and capability for decades now. politics and businesses hinder real progress.
@@illumi1011 same story it’s always been. They’re making money hand over fist and would like to continue doing so. So any innovation in energy is actively suppressed. They create propaganda to appease us. They lie right to our faces.
Nuclear fusion, always 5 years away for 30+ years and counting.
becaus the ecos are against technology and industry, they only care about there climate and drugs
Good job, the author knows his stuff.
This video needs far higher global views. The technology is already making our lives better, what will it be like in the next 20 years? I hope I live long enough to see it.
CGTN produce really quality documentaries like this one. Thank you.
Hall sensors are mostly used to measure current in a wire. The current measurement is usually digitized and accumulated/integrated in order to monitor and control battery systems.
So glad to know so much progress is being made.
Cool, nice to see graphene take off . . . @ 14:24 pizza bag keeps it oven fresh for days + future oven
Sepsis detection was also solved by the Swiss company abionic - they do it in 5 minutes - but I think they could use these sensors in their equipment. Fantastic development.
Such a top quality show. I'm surprised there's only 14.2k subscribers to the channel right now. Guess I'm one of the early ones to discover it. Keep it up, I'm betting you're about to explode soon.
Interesting, thanks. However, I had to turn off because of that annoyingly loud background music
Winer, boo who

@@mrspeigle1that works, but it shouldn’t be necessary. Hearing the voices aids in comprehension. Everybody’s brain works differently.
How are you listening? Cell? Buds? TV? Loud ? Queit volume? It might be a eq on the device. Trying to help
The main reason gaphene hasn't already come to the forefront is because Silicone is not only currently cheap and easy to produce.. it also still sits nicely with the technology advancement line, one, we're still able to advance using the stuff..
Silicone however is closing in on its limits, we are down to about 3nm in the domestic market, and heat Vs energy transfer is becoming a problem, with cooling solutions actually going backwards *large cooling solutions to keep silicone chips cool*..
For this reason we are not far away now from the next best thing, which may well be graphene otherwise tech advancement will halt and that isn't acceptable. I think theres a manufacturing issue with graphene aswell *mass production* but I'm sure they will iron that out
This is amazing. Many people dogmatically believe that free market will solve everything - in reality the free market operates on moment. Any new ideas will have to compete with entrenched existing industries and somehow find funding with no guarantee of return generally by people with no interest in the technology, rather who just want a return. This rarely benefits totally new technologies. In the US at least there are programs to fund completely new ideas, through NSF, agriculture department, DARPA, etc. but the amount of funding supplied is usually laughably inadequate. Some friends of mine had a startup idea teach electronics and embedded programming in a novel way, they actually wln a first round NSF grant - the grant was for I think $26k. That might be enough for materials for a year or so but that's not paying for any real equipment, rent, salaries, or healthcare. The startup died.
Yeah we need a new system that promotes innovation much better. If startups do manage to get funding, it’s usually from venture capitalists who will bleed the company dry.
@@thecsslifeWe already have the systems to do this, we just need to fund them.
But like everything else, we’ve let the rich evade paying their fair share and convince us to cut funding for all public works to the bone. So now our programs simply can’t give out adequate awards, and it can’t give out enough of them.
We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. All we have to do is adequately fund the system we already have.
I've been so excited about graphene since I first heard about it years ago.
It is now known that as it is made from carbon, we can flash burn general household waste to create it!
Also, given the information on this video regarding the sensors made to detect different bacteria and virus, I know there is an ongoing attempt to create a Star Trey style medical Tricorder - a fictional device which is used as a handheld medical scanner - and I can see how graphene could be a game changer for that!
Amazing. Nobody trusted graphene until very recently so its good to see actual research being done with trust
I'm still waiting for the carbon nanotube space elevator they promised.
And where's my hoverboard?
What devices are running on this so far?
The amazing discovery was made with two objects, a piece of cellotape & a block of graphite. Nobel prize worthy apparently.
You didn't think of doing it.
Watch the video dude. Its not that simple.
That is why it is called a discovery and not an invention. The advancement comes from identifying the possible usecases of the already present substance.
Anyone who knows graphene, knows that it is a lot easier and safer to use when in a liquid suspension, as opposed to dry powder. Unfortunately, most liquid suspension products contain no more than 15g of graphene per GALLON of product. At NanoCrete, we have completely upended this paradigm with our X15 graphene jelly product. We suspend over 480 g of graphene PER GALLON with our proprietary, 18-month shelf-stable technology, ensuring you can utilize consistent graphene safely and for longer.
Great, now fuckers are putting ads in the comments.
That sepsis device, is incredible
There's a concept known as Amara's Law (people tend to overestimate the short-term impact of new technologies while underestimating their long-term effects.) It indicates that many if not most technological breakthroughs/discoveries take years, often decades before they make significant inroads in everyday life. Electricity, the telephone, the automobile, the transistor, the Internet to name just a few examples. It was decades after development/invention/discovery that each of these were commonplace. Graphene "discovered" in 2004, it's now 2024 and it's just making a few inroads. By 2044 we'll wonder how ever did without it.
Don't forget that it took 80 years after the invention of the fridge before you could buy one in a store.
(And it was actually a freezer that made ice)
@@lordgarion514 That may be but I strongly doubt it would take that long to be found on cellphones, laptops and computers in general. Once it's available every single company in those areas would kill for the opportunity to sell you one of these, as long as the cost of manufacturing it doesn't exceed the potential financial gain.
On that note, let me go and get me some NanoXplore (NNXPF • OTCMKTS) shares. They are headed in the right direction.
Lasers as well.
id like to buy a hall sensor, love to see the resolution and if it could improve an idea i have
and how much energy do we need to make graphene compared to how much energy will it save if its in every pc?
There's a claim by Universal Matter that one ton of graphene may cost 100 dollars in electricity with the flash method.
it's nice to see this, in theory, if we could find the right material, a logic gate could be constructed with a solitary atom :)
How did she miss the most common use for hall sensors there used in brushless motors
Best video. Thank you to everyone who made this video
‘1000x less’.
Is this a meaningful statement [when not comparing to a previous reduction]?
it is worth noting that it took at about15 years from the Bardeen & Bratton's transistor to appear in usable devices like portable radios, and that was on the back of years of research making pure enough crystals. So you can bet we won't see computors using graphene chips rivalling Silicon before the mid 2030s even at todays breakneck pace. Even in military evirons, which demand performance any any price.
To be honest, who cares?
Silicon based computing power still hasnt reached its physical limitations and probably wont until the year 2040 or so.
That means graphene has yet another 15 years to progress to becoming a viable alternative.
Adoption takes time too so we will be fine in that regard till the year 2060 or so and after that computing should be „solved“ or close to it.
And dont forget the impact AI can have in the years ~2030-2035 and that will most likely advance progress even faster.
@@Slayer666th Oh, there will be limitations in silicon, so niche applications will appear in other metals. Graphene Hall effect looks to be one. Some of us remember when HDD were touted to replace tape drives, and we scoffed. Tape is still around. & cheap. Horses for courses. Silicon may hold its ground in audio with analogue, but CPUs? An atom is an atom, and that is a limitation. Far more worrying is the energy used in servers/mining/AI and that gets you back to the size of the atom, eventually.
@@Slayer666th Silicon progress already broke down when the Dennard scaling ended around 15-20 years ago. Dark silicon problem.
Good show with (for me at least) the right level of technical information to enable me to understand the fundamentals and their links to the applications.
It's not a new material it's been around for a long time we've been waiting for the price to get to a reasonable level so we could actually use it in all the ways we want to
Graphene is so cool. I am especially interested in the low power and high performance semiconductor properties of it.
The biggest problem Graphene has is that it is not a semiconductor.
@@dagon_hydrAwhat is it?
We're still too busy putting it on tape and looking at it under a microscope for the cameras.
LOL
1:11 the old man is wearing protectives when the actual workers behind him clearly are not wearing them. so from the getgo this is showing its self as something it is not.
when it comes to the powerdraw of current hall effect sensors the amount is so little as it is. it is one of the components we make that uses the least from what i know at least. so the gain may not matter as much as you might think by the way the lay it out for you here.
You're right. There's nothing special about this hall sensor at all. Try finding a compatible ASIC!
@@dagon_hydrA what format do u want? did not say it was not special did i? said it does not matter. current ones use so little energy that their sales point on energy use is as futile as resistance to the borg ;)
Great questions, excellent production.
18:30 What a crock. There hasn't been a breakthrough in lithium batteries since the late 1980s. The only improvements have been marginal. The lowered cost was largely due to making them in China.
12:23 I want to use one of these biosensors to make a neural network grown from stem cells scraped off my scalp.
Can graphene stop metals moving at extremely high velocities? , it is super strong, also can grapheme store energy?
So is the main iteration of graphene with electronics to just replace pcb? It seems its use is nothing more than a wafer for copper traces. How is graphene going to improve upon lithographic transistors other than to offer a lighter material for smd parts. If that’s the case I’d rather see it implemented as filament for smaller leds.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
Very cool. Tho, i was hoping to see graphene being produced in continuous sheets. Some perhaps several hundred miles of the stuff wound on a small spool. (Which must be good for something, like space elevators.😄)
Well it’s about time. Thanks for the update.

I doubt you will ever get those even though diamond coatings are an industry standard in optics. It is better for spectacle manufacturers to keep everyone on a 1~3 year replacement schedule for glasses than to provide a longer lifecycle product. Also better for your eyes and things like driving safety to change your prescription more regularly as your eyesight ages.

Fascinating! The proccess to create the wafers of graphene reminds me of the process to create blue L.E.D.s
Exciting new technologies!

Graphene has been in industrial use for well over 15 years that I'm aware of and Swnts for 25 a bunch of swnt data was rechecked against graphene as it's a million times easier to produce in ugly format. To what you refer is the jump in quality manufacturing and classification we use bulk sluice graphene in everything from concrete to carbon fibre. In carbon composites 2% can give a 20% stronger product if you use swnts or 5-10 just as graphene. Also used to help promote self healing in high calcium carbonate concretes that breath co2 and heal cracks over time. And swnts have been used as nucleation sites in lab smelted focal magnets. So many applications aside from purely nano electronics.
