My best engineer and accountant are Rice grads.
Seems like one of the up-and-coming schools to replace the fading Ivys.
My trash is priceless
Silly Greenie Wienie, laboratories are for scientists.
OH, not Graphene Maxwell
what’s a Chinaman eat? RICE!
Isn’t graphene the stuff found in the clotshot vaccine?
This seems like a better use for the stuff.
Sigh. Folks need to realize graphene is carbon, and the earth and our civilization has a LOT of carbon. Unless of course one is trying to decarbonize ...
Graphene- It’s a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, just one atom thick.
Now, the trick is to manufacture it, form it, and keep it assembled as something useful.
65-70 years ago I saw a film (news-reel?) showing a German company making “concrete” building blocks from trash/garbage.
The only product I’ve used that actually contains graphene is one type of gloves we use at work. I didn’t even make the connection with the name until I read one of the packages. They’re called Kyorene Pro 00-890 by a company called Armor Guys. They’re rated ANSI Cut Level A9 which is pretty good as they’re just like some gardening gloves. They’re really expensive, though; Around $200 per dozen.
Sounds more like an exotic material that has hired a P.R. team to find a niche.
Diamonds on the other hand are ubiquitous in industrial applications.
Graphene is a two-dimensional material composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice. It’s known for its exceptional strength, flexibility, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. These properties make it a promising material for a wide range of applications, from electronics and energy storage to composites and coatings.
