Future in trace of pencil...
We trying to find something useful always end up in finding something impossible. How will you feel if I say the thing of future has been discovered and everything around you is about to change. So put on your thinking cap and be ready to get amazed....
Graphene
It is man made yes you guessed it right... a 2D structure having only length and breadth but no height,
Graphene
is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single atom
layer of carbon atoms.
Graphene
Lets
make it simple.. take a small block of of
graphite and a scotch tape. Now, stick a layer of scotch tape on it
and peel it off ...there ,you have a layer of graphene.
The
same experiment was carried out by two scientist and finally got a
Nobel prize ..don’t expect of getting one
The
world is about to change.
Whenever
a new material is discovered, it either makes groundbreaking discoveries or nothing much but in case
of graphene it is a wonder material capable of producing materials
that were once thought to be impossible by theoretical physicists.
This
best in everything material is impenetrable(helium
atoms cannot pass through it) that it would take an elephant standing on a pencil tip to penetrate through it,
strongest material known to man stronger than diamond and approx. 200
times stronger than steel, super (thermal and electrical)
conductor,
though
strong and
stable it
is extremely
flexible.
We
now being able to manipulate
things to its atomic level can make amazing materials by its
composite to other materials.
Applications.....
-
Flexible transparent devices(we all have seen transparent computer technology in avengers.)
-
Nanotechnology
-
Aerospace (making super light air crafts)
-
Anti corrosion(one single layer of its coating on materials a can make it corrosion proof forever)
-
Solar cells (everywhere due to transparency)and batteries(chargeable in few minutes rather than hours)
-
Defense (making armors ,bullet proof vests. Light weight tanks, jets etc.)
-
Medical(retinal displays as it is compatible with bio materials, DNA printing)
-
The most important water desalination (its impermeable materials make water filtration a lot cheaper and energy efficient)
-
Super computers, diodes, etc.
Its
applications are endless and we can create wonders with it.
In
past decade it has been a hot rod topic since its discovery but
nothing much has come to existence. It seems that has got faded away
by the time but time has come once again to make
its
abilities to unleash. Who knows in further few years we an see a
elevator going up to the space, planes of future and gadget
technologies like si-fi movies . The possibilities are endless the
only thing required is a thought to think the impossible and make it
happen .the future is waiting to be discovered and discoveries as
such open a new portal to an amazing future.
Thank you
see
