Essay About Single Layer Of Carbon Atoms And New Incredible Material

Could Graphed Change the World
Introduction:
Grapheme is a new incredible material made out of pure carbon, which has been recently receiving a great amount of attention. Some people have already started to call it the ‘wonderful material’. This famous material was discovered in 2004 by two scientists named Novosolv and Geim, when during an experiment, they extracted graphene from graphite by using scotch tape.

Grapheme consists of a single layer of carbon atoms structured very close with each other. It’s one of the thinnest object ever obtain as well as being transparent and the first 2 dimensional material. It’s one atom thick and has an arrangement of a hexagonally structure, similar to a honey comp.

Graphene is the world’s strongest material. A single sheet of grapheme is harder than diamond and about three hundred times stronger than steel. Yet it still remains flexible and it is able to conduct electricity much better than copper and any other substances.

Thanks to these many properties, graphene’s potential is almost limitless. It will find ways to make a new generation materials. In other words it would make amazing new technologies never seen before in human history such as super thin and flexible mobile phones and touchscreen that could be virtually unbreakable or electric airplanes. Grapheme could lead to a new medical revolution thanks, this means it could help give sight to blind people again or find new ways to cure sickness. It could even go from doing the perfect condom to window bulletproof armour.

Water and grapheme
Graphene’s properties could be put together by different scientific techniques and create amazing new technologies that would revolutionize our world. It has proven it’s self as wonderful material, however one of its most important properties is the fact that it doesn’t let anything pass through it but water. Scientists have discovered that this factor could be used to filter the salt oceanic water and convert it into drinkable water supplies for thirsty populations.

But how can grapheme do that?
The reason why grapheme
