This transparent strip is made of one of the strongest materials on Earth. And now we’re going to inject this into your body.

We are in a world of constant change and technology is evolving at an unprecedented rate. Graphene, a thin substance derived from graphite, has emerged as one of the most promising ...

There has been an explosion of interest in the physics of graphene — individual layers of graphite in which each carbon atom is bonded to three other carbon atoms — since it was first ...

The exceptional electrical properties of graphene were discovered only five years ago in experiments that involved manually peeling samples weighing picograms from bulk graphite 4. Today the total ...

It can conduct electricity 100x better than silicon and heat 10x better than copper – yet it is only a single atom thick (there are about 3 million layers of graphene in 1 mm of graphite). Graphene is ...

The answer is: entirely of carbon. Graphene consists entirely of carbon atoms and graphene sheets are building blocks for other graphitic materials such as graphite, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.
