Graphene: The Super material for Future Technology

Implantation The social comforts of human culture are developed by the advances in the invention of innovative class of materials.

These materials are capable of fulfilling the need of physics, aids in the development of smart technology. Smart

technology has made life simpler, more cherish and healthier than ever. The secret beyond these inventions is that,

scientists are biased by nature. The Mother Nature has encapsulated many design models and is only reveled by focused

observation. Since we all know that repetition is the mother of all learning, these model can be developed into mass

production by rigorous thinking, and effective implementation of the technology for the development of the process.

These processes implant a base for future growth of computational technology.

Soar of size Initially, design of components were established on the fact that bigger the size of the component greater the strength.

Later we were able to realize that shape of the part being designed also depends on the shape and structure of the

material being used to build the component.

The talk of Feynman by stating that there is plenty of room at the bottom, enabled to manipulate individual atoms and

molecule by using one set of precise tools to build and operate another proportionally smaller set, so on down to the

needed scale. He has also emphasized on the fact that gravity would become less important and surface tension Van der

Waals attraction concepts would play a predominant role in designing of such miniature composites structures.

Carbon forms of life

Carbon atoms form the “backbone” of almost all the important biological molecules floating around the life on earth. It is the base for DNA and all life on Earth. Carbon can exist in several different forms. The most common form of carbon is graphite, which consists of stacked sheets of carbon with a hexagonal structure.

Nobel Prize

Geim and Novoselov Delicately cleaved a sample of graphite with sticky tape, and hence they produced a structure which was hypothetical: Yes a thin sheet of crystalline carbon just one atom thick, known as grapheme. Monolayer graphene was isolated and characterized by these researchers. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for their groundbreaking work on graphene.

Universal tenure

Electrons can race through graphene at nearly the speed of light – 100 times faster than they move through silicon. In addition to being superthin and superfast when it comes to conducting electrons, graphene is also superstrong and superflexible, making it a potential superstar material in the electronics and photonics fields, the basis for a host of

devices, starting with ultrafast transistors. One big problem, however, has been that graphene’s electron conduction

can’t be completely stopped, an essential requirement for on/off devices.

It is 200 times stronger than steel, but is incredibly flexible. It is fire resistant yet retains heat. It is a superb conductor,

Fascination with this material stems from its remarkable physical properties and the potential applications these properties offer for the future. Although scientists knew one atom thick, two-dimensional crystal graphene existed, no-one had worked out how to extract it from graphite.
