Graphene is a material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It has a number of unique properties, including high electrical conductivity, high mechanical strength, and high chemical stability, which make it a promising material for use in a variety of applications, including energy storage. One potential use of [...]
Graphene and batteries Graphene, a sheet of carbon atoms bound together in a honeycomb lattice pattern, is hugely recognized as a “wonder material” due to the myriad of astonishing attributes it holds. It is a potent conductor of electrical and thermal energy, extremely lightweight chemically inert, and flexible with a large surface area. It is [...]

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 to make. This new technique cuts down on the cost [...]
Slowing productivity improvements and rising costs for silicon have business leaders evaluating other materials. The path from breakthrough discovery to transformational industry applications can be a long, circuitous one. Often the first rush of possibility is followed by decades of development, refinement, and experimentation. Even then, there are no guarantees. Labs around the world [...]
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 isolate other two-dimensional materials. Graphene was found to be a wonder material, possessing [...]
Graphene: Is It the Future for Semiconductors?An Overview of the Material, Devices, and Applications by Yaw Obeng and Purushothaman Srinivasan In this article, we attempt to summarize the graphene component of the ECS symposia series on “Graphene, Ge/III-V, Nanowires, and Emerging Materials for Post-CMOS Applications.”1 While not exhaustive and complete, a review of the papers [...]

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 carbon contains numerous double bonds. Each atom in a graphene sheet is connected to its three [...]
