2. In 2004, two Russian scientists used Scotch
tape and a graphite rock to discover…

3. A layer of atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure.

4. Graphene is…
Here’s why…

5. Graphene is the thinnest known material, only 1 atom thick.

6. It would take 3 million stacked sheets of it to equal the width…

7. Of a pencil tip.

8. Despite being the lightest known material…
It’s also the strongest.

9. Harder than diamond.
And 200x stronger than steel.

10. And 200x stronger than steel.
It conducts electricity and heat
better than any other material.

11. And allows nothing to pass
through it except water.

13. Imagine flexible cell phones.
TVs, thin as wallpaper, that you could roll up and take with you.

14. Standard-sized batteries that hold a longer charge.
Smaller computer chips, leading to faster electronics.
Stronger but lighter aircraft that uses less fuel.

15. With its super conductivity, graphene could
play a huge part in the future of solar power.
And in revolutionizing
electric cars by enhancing
their batteries – making
them more efficient and
eventually more affordable.

16. Graphene has proven to be an anti-corrosion coating
for metal that is transparent, thinner, and longer
lasting than anything that currently exists.

17. Graphene’s ability to let nothing pass through it
except water makes it the world’s greatest filter.

18. Graphene could cheaply and easily remove salt from
seawater, potentially turning the oceans into a vast
drinking supply for thirsty populations.
