Instructions and Help about Will Form 5495 Concerning

It may not look like it but I'm creating one of the strongest and most versatile materials on earth graphene you've probably heard buzz about it graphene made big waves back in 2023 and it's knocked around science news ever since a global race for graphene you know it's not just limited to one little thing to a lot of mind-blowing technology but that was almost 15 years ago where are all of the graphene wonders that we were promised the bulletproof armor the graphene circuitry the ultralight airplanes the graphene medicine a space elevator so the next time man walks on the moon maybe he'll take the elevator to get there clearly lots of the buzz never went anywhere but graphene does exist Engineers have gone from making one Fleck at a time to producing it by the barrel full do you want to try to pick it up sure so the graphene revolution we were promised may already be in motion you can stretch and pull on it and in fact a good way to visualize it is that if you've had a big enough sheet of pure graphene you could hold up a soccer ball on just one atomic layer and that's insane Joseph Meany is an analytical chemist who co-authored a book about the promise of graphene he explained to us that graphene is just carbon like coal or graphite or diamond the difference is in how the carbon atoms are bonded together and in the unique shape that the material takes so it's just a single atom sheet there's no Z dimension to speak of in graphene and these atoms of carbon are arranged in interlocking or tessellated hexagons kind of like a chicken wire the bonds between the carbon atoms are actually extremely strong...
