Materials for Tomorrow Graphene and Its Future

Through a study of discrete and continuous quantum graphs an interest has emerged to produce a possible directions of the various research projects by the involved Universities. Key interest in the study is
- Transport properties of networks and their complexity.
Projects and research are underway through application of graphene manipulation. What is Graphene? It’s the versatile two dimensional carbon allotrope with amazing properties
- Lightest
- Strongest with
- Heat and electricity conductivity (than any material known on Earth)
Graphene Application and Use
1. It’s a Download World with Upscale Uploads
What’s the use of the hybrid cars when you quickly run out and have to spend long precious hours recharging? Any battery can potentially hold a lot of energy, but it can take a long time to charge. A capacitor, on the other hand, comparatively speaking can be charged quite quickly, but can’t hold that much energy.
The solution is to develop energy storage components such as either a supercapacitor or a battery that is able to provide both of these positive characteristics without compromise. Currently scientist are working on incorporating graphene as an anode in batteries. When successful?
Plug your home devices, Tablets, phones just for five seconds and the unit would be charged.
Graphene could potentially clump together radioactive waste, making disposal a mere breeze.

Graphene is strong, stiff and very light. A good application to employee in the manufacture of vehicles and aerospace. Manufacturers will easily incorporate it into the carbon fibre material. Its preferential because its stronger while much lighter. Military and defense geniuses can, If not already, use these characteristics; high strength requirement applications such as body armour for personnel and vehicles.
Of course all these applications are only in the initial and it would take a while, but manufacturers have to figure out production (apparently Spain is a country to look to for Graphene production as confirmed by ICEX. However its so interesting to see a promising future.
