Apparently graphene will change the way we live. First explored in the ’40s and recently the subject of a Nobel Prize, it’s 200 times stronger than steel and conducts electricity better than anything else around. The implications are, as they say, staggering.
Researchers at Columbia University’s Fu Foundation School of Engineering who proved that graphene is the strongest material ever measured said that “It would take an elephant, balanced on a pencil, to break through a sheet of graphene the thickness of Saran Wrap.”
