Graphene: The Future by Nobody: 9:09pm On Mar 14, 2013



Graphene is amazing. Or at least, it could be. Made from a layer of carbon one-atom thick, it's the strongest material in the world, it's completely flexible, and it's more conductive than copper. Discovered just under a decade ago, the supermaterial potentially has some unbelievable applications for us in the not so distant future.

All of these are just hypothetical at this point, but could be real before we know it. And they're all flippin incredible.

Mega-fast uploads. We're talking a whole terabit in just one second.


Plug your phone in for five seconds and it would be all charged up.


What if we actually had a clear solution for cleaning up the tainted water near Fukushima? Scientists at Rice say graphene could potentially clump together radioactive waste, making disposal is a breeze.


Water, water everywhere and EVERY drop drinkable. MIT minds have a plan for a graphene filter covered in tiny holes just big enough to let water through and small enough to keep salt out, making salt water safe for consumption.


Touchscreens that use graphene as their conductor could be slapped onto plastic rather than glass. That would mean super thin, unbreakable touchscreens and never worrying about shattering your phone ever again.


High-power graphene supercapacitors would make batteries obselete.


Graphene could pave the way for bionic devices in living tissues that could be connected directly to your neurons. So people with spinal injuries, for example, could re-learn how to use their limbs.

this is just too cool. nature must have had some kind of error in the making of time to let this miracle material be

U can make graphene by apply a thin layer of graphite on a Cd and inserting it in a player..the lens' infrared light wil........one tin one tin cool
