Super strong, super light, near totally transparent and one
of the best conductors of electricity ever discovered, graphene is a one-atom
thick sheet of carbon atoms that owes its amazing properties to being
two-dimensional.
Graphene, meet silver.
Silver is a high-quality noble metal that corrodes very
slowly in moist air and doesn’t typically interact chemically with other
substances. Graphene, meanwhile, is a much sought-after platform for new
physics and device applications.
