Researchers discover method for mass production of nanomaterial graphene
November 10, 2008 - Process has already produced the largest graphene sample reported
Graphene is a perfect example of the wonders of nanotechnology, in which common substances are scaled down to an atomic level to uncover new and exciting possibilities.
Graphene is created when graphite - the mother form of all graphitic carbon, which is used to make the pigment that allows pencils to write on paper - is reduced down to a one-atom-thick she...more |
