Graphene is the strongest material ever discovered

ArabiaWeather.com - Mohamed Salama - Graphene is a transparent, high-density material, which is 300 times stronger than steel, 40 times harder than diamond, and is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.

This substance was discovered by scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov - who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 - after extracting it from graphite.

Each millimeter of graphite consists of three million layers of graphene stacked on top of each other. Graphene is classified as a form of carbon, characterized by its high flexibility and transparency, which made it available for use in the manufacture of touch screens, lighting panels, solar cells and foldable devices.

Research has shown that the speed of electron transmission in it is much faster than silicon, which makes it a strong candidate to enter the manufacture of future computer processors, and this will raise the speed of the computer processor to be measured in terahertz instead of gigahertz.

Graphene's ideal properties have made scientists navigate the world of experiments and conduct research that may result in a revolution in the world of technology.
