There has always been a close parallel between philosophy and physics. Physicists study the laws of physics and patterns that govern the universe, while philosophers study the nature of existence, knowledge and morality of the vast subject.

That’s the major reason why both disciplines have a long joint history dating back to ancient times. The respective subjects have always had a profound impact on human concious since time and memorial.

Graphene is one such recent development in the field of physics which pushes one into the core depths of the vast subject. The question that stands out is, what is graphene?

What is Graphene?

Graphene is a two-dimensional, atomically thin material, composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It was first isolated in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work.

Unique Properties of Graphene

Graphene has several unique properties that make it peculiar and one of its kind. It has a high tensile strength greater than that of steel with super conductivity rate that makes it an excellent conductor of both electricity and heat. Some of its nature that make it count as valuable and quality material for various technological applications are lightweight, transparency, flexibility and biocompatibility.

Application of Graphene

Due to its vast properties, Graphene has potential in a wide range of fields applications and that includes electronics, composites, biomedicine and water filtration. It is also used as sensors in many sensing devices and even as the catalyst.

Researchers have developed high-performance supercapacitors based on graphene. Several breakthroughs have been observed in the subject that have the potential to store large amounts of energy and many vast and useful applications such as electric vehicles, Biomedicine and many more. But there are still some of the key areas where graphene has the potential to make a significant impact on the social and scientific field.  Researchers and scientists continue to explore new ways to utilize its unique properties to make it key material for future of technology.
