Graphene the "Miracle Material"

Graphene is a one-atom thick layer of carbon arranged in honeycomb lattice. When millions of these are stacked on top of each other they form Graphene. It was discovered by 2 physicists in 2004 at UK's University of Manchester named Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. They isolated a single layer of Graphene using Scotch tape and received the Noble Peace price in 2010. It is more conductive than copper and about 1000 times more then silicon. It is harder than diamond and about 300 times harder than steel. It can also stretch 20% of its original length and is still visible. Graphene will allow a new generation of flexible gadgets like phones and tablets. It could also make solar panels more efficient and allow digital devices to be embedded almost anywhere from cloth to walls.
