Graphene, material of the future

Graphene is a material made of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice1. Being a million times thinner than a human hair, it is the thinnest object ever created. Not only graphene is lightweight and flexible, it is also the world's strongest material, being 200 times stronger than steel2.Capable of increasing Internet speed 100 times and making its versatile and almost invisible clothes, graphene is already called by many in the scientific community as the “magic material” that will revolutionize several areas of technology. One million sheets of graphene are only one millimeter thick and many believe that this material can bring a new industrial revolution. It is the thinnest, the strongest and the toughest material ever made. At the same time, it is transparent, flexible and behaves very well in high heat and electricity conditions3,4.Given the extraordinary properties and functionalities of graphene in all areas of medicine and industry, the high cost of graphene production has been enormous in this regard, and certainly providing a simple and easy way to achieve graphene can revolutionize the world of graphene. Our research group, has developed a new method for achieving graphene in the shortest time and with the least use of chemicals.
