Graphene is amazing . Or at least , it could be . Made from a layer of carbon one - atom thick , it ’s thestrongest material in the creation , it ’s entirely compromising , and it ’s more conductive than fuzz . Discovered just under a decade ago , the supermaterial potentially has some unbelievable applications for us in the not so remote future tense .

All of these are just conjectural at this point , but could be real before we be intimate it . And they ’re all flippin unbelievable .
Mega-fast uploads. We’re talkinga whole terabitin just one second.

Plug your phone in for five seconds and it would beall charged up. The downside here is that you won’t be able to use a dead phone as an excuse anymore.
What if we actually had a clear solution for cleaning up the tainted water near Fukushima?Scientists at Ricesay graphene could potentially clump together radioactive waste, making disposal is a breeze.

Water, water everywhere and EVERY drop drinkable.MIT mindshave a plan for a graphene filter covered in tiny holes just big enough to let water through and small enough to keep salt out, making salt water safe for consumption.

Touchscreens that use graphene as their conductor could beslapped onto plasticrather than glass. That would mean super thin, unbreakable touchscreens and never worrying about shattering your phone ever again.
Just a single sheet of graphene could produce headphones that have a frequency response comparable to a pair of Sennheisers, assome scientists at UC Berkeleyrecently showed us.

Graphene could pave the way forbionic devicesin living tissues that could be connected directly to your neurons. So people with spinal injuries, for example, could re-learn how to use their limbs.
