In 2004, two Russian scientists used Scotch tape and a graphite rock to discover…

A layer of atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure.

Here’s why…
Graphene is…

Graphene is the thinnest known material, only 1 atom thick.

It would take 3 million stacked sheets of it to equal the width…

Of a pencil tip.

It’s also the strongest.
Despite being the lightest known material…

Harder than diamond.
And 200x stronger than steel.

And 200x stronger than steel.
It conducts electricity and heat better than any other material.

And allows nothing to pass through it except water.

TVs, thin as wallpaper, that you could roll up and take with you.
Imagine flexible cell phones.

Standard-sized batteries that hold a longer charge.
Smaller computer chips, leading to faster electronics.
Stronger but lighter aircraft that uses less fuel.

With its super conductivity, graphene could play a huge part in the future of solar power.
And in revolutionizing electric cars by enhancing their batteries – making them more efficient and
eventually more affordable.

Graphene has proven to be an anti-corrosion coating for metal that is transparent, thinner, and longer
lasting than anything that currently exists.

Graphene’s ability to let nothing pass through it except water makes it the world’s greatest filter.
![Page 18: What Is Graphene?](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042513/546f0fe8af79596c298b594d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Graphene could cheaply and easily remove salt from seawater, potentially turning the oceans into a vast
drinking supply for thirsty populations.
