The Miracle material-an industrial revolution


                 
       Hello friends,welcome once again to my blog.In this  post I will reveal you something closely science oriented.But this is not merely a science,it may be a life changing or exactly take our society into next stage of lifestyle especially improvements in engineering, technology and may also other unknown improvemental impacts on us.

Whats that miracle material?

            That miracle material is nothing but the 'Graphene'. Most of us know graphite,which is in pencils we use and is a good conductor of electricity.
Some of you heard the word 'graphene'.The chemical world belived that graphene is a non-stable material and it can't be separated from graphite,like the story of indivisible atom.
         
  But two physicist 'Andre geim with Konstatin novoselov' made the isolation of graphene possible very very simply.
we will see how they made it; at the end of this article and before that we should look for the natures of graphene which are made graphene a miracle material.

Why graphene is wondered?

       Graphene is a ultrathin component.


Thickness of graphene =one atom thickness.
Graphite is made up of several layers of graphene.

The single layer of graphite is graphene composed of carbon atoms with well strong carbon bonding.Eventhough it is a thin material,.....Graphene is strongest material in the world.
The strength of graphene is tested by rice university a bullet proof test and that video is waiting below as a link.
It can hold a elephant on it.
Next point,Graphene is 10000 times better conductor than copper.It has a structure like a sieving material.
And more importantly,eventhough it is stronger it is very flexible component.



These mixed advantages made it wonder.But it is still wonder,because ...I will tell at the end.

Applications of graphene:

Solution to real world problems:

                   Graphene is looked as a remedy for water scarcity in the way of efficient manner of converting sea water into pure drinking water.The sieving nature of graphene has a power to filter hydrogens very efficiently.

Infrastructure:

               Simce graphene is a strong material it can used in car,plane and aircrafts manufacturings.





Elecrronics:

            Since,graphene is a good conductor of electricity,  Batteries made of graphene will be charged quickly.
         Eg: graphene mobile chargers will charged in 5 minutes and a graphene battery of electric car will charged in 30 minutes.


Graphene gadgets:

         Graphene gadgets are very flexible so they can be foldable.



 

Graphene can also be effective replacement for solar cells.













How that two physicist isolate marvelous graphene simple?

  
Like this with a pencil and tape they isolate graphene and won nobel prize for this.

Why it is still not came in reality?

Eventhough it is simply isolated,manufacturing of graphene materials still a tedious process.Still there was no effective manufaturing process for graphene.

But that day is not too far and that day graphene will revolutionise the industry.

Thank you and give a thumbs up for more like this ,if you this.
Share with pleasure if the graphene really excited you and share opinions in comment section.
