Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. It was first isolated in 2004 and has exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, making it the strongest known material. Graphene has potential applications in areas like electrical engineering, electronics, biomedical engineering, solar cells, water filters, and more. It could be used to create advanced touch screens, transparent tablets, lightweight airplanes and satellites, and future mobile devices that seamlessly connect to computers without additional devices. Graphene is poised to transform many industries due to its unique attributes.
