Graphene Subject: Science & Tech Section: Chemistry Context: Graphene along with AI and Quantum computing will disrupt the existing human machine interface in the next couple of decades. Concept: Graphene: Graphene is the world’s thinnest, strongest, and most conductive material of both electricity and heat. It conducts electricity better than copper. It is 200 times stronger than steel but six times lighter. It is almost perfectly transparent as it absorbs only 2% of light. It is impermeable to gases, even those as light as hydrogen and helium. Uses: Graphene composites are used in aerospace, automotive, sports equipment and construction. It is used for high performance […]
Graphene Subject : Science and technology Section: chemistry Concept : Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb-like pattern. It is an is an allotrope of carbon. Graphene is considered to be the world’s thinnest, strongest and most conductive material – of both electricity and heat. Properties: It is […]
