Graphene is insanely useful, but very difficult to produce — until now. Graphene is a lattice of carbon atoms arranged in a chicken-wire formation, a structure that makes it very useful for a wide range of applications. However, it’s been very difficult and expensive...

A group of researchers teamed up to develop a graphene-based transistor, which drastically outpaced the silicon ones used in most computers. It’s smaller but more powerful. Graphene At It Again The discovery of graphene in 2004 began a flurry of studies to...

Graphene (/ˈɡræfiːn/[1]) is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice[2][3] nanostructure.[4] The name is derived from “graphite” and the suffix -ene, reflecting the fact that the graphite allotrope of...
