time I've been talking about the queriedo graphene and its tremendous potential, which was discovered almost by accident. In fact it did when to clear debris from the surface of graphite, for which using a simple masking tape which is usually discarded after this cleaning, physicist Andre Geim decided to investigate the microscope. It was then that he started the whole revolution of graphene, because these graphite monolayers were in the heat, assumed a revolution in physics of materials.
The graphene success and fame came when in 2010 its discoverers Novosiolov Andre Konstantin Geim and received the Nobel Prize in physics .
To summarize a bit, cite some of the properties of graphene :
* Resistance (200 times greater than steel)
* Biodegradable, being a derivative of carbon
* High thermal conductivity (rather than Most materials) and electrical (equal to or greater than copper)
* Huge elasticity and hardness
Supports ionizing radiation
* Very lightweight and flexible
* Reduced Joule effect, so that less heat to drive electrons
* Less consumption silicon electrical
and give a fact, say that IBM has developed a chip (processor) 100-GHz graphene, 10 times faster than silicon ....
There are still many skeptics about graphene, but what is clear is that only has taken 5 years to move from the scientific to the industrial area, which is already a success, since it usually takes between 10 to 15 years to move to industrialize a laboratory discovery of such . Another thing, is to produce in series and in industrial quantities, since there are many factors that will not happen immediately , among which are:
* It has invested heavily in the silicon and therefore many do not want to lose that investment because of a material that at first he wins almost everything (conductivity, price, flexibility, hardness ...)
* giants like Apple and have invested heavily in their current technology tablets and touch screens, making that first focus on getting the maximum economic yield of their products iPads star as ...
* There are other manufacturers like Sony, which have invested much time and money OLED technology for flexible displays , plus there are other alternatives that are also being investigated, such as metal oxides or combinations of silicon and rubber, among others.
I leave you now with some more graphic videos that explain some of the applications and the tremendous potential that this little material has to near future.
Video 1: Graphene
future material
Video 2: Augmented Reality. The future of the screens. Approaching the graphene
And now a video that refers to the said OLED technology, competition in graphene ...
Video 3: Sony Develops a rollable OLED screen
And now some thoughts ...
why so much progress if we do not have time if you want to "enjoy" the present? ...
graphene is it the enemy of those who will shine at the expense of power consumption due to their vastly superior electrical properties compared to its current competitors such as silicon? ...
