Over the last hundred years the world has witnessed amazing advances in the fields of technology, energy, sports and medicine. However, few discoveries have shown the versatility or potential as graphene. Graphene is a tightly packed layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice and are the basic structural element of other allotropes, including graphite, charcoal, and carbon nanotubes. In this program we will learn how a thin layer of pure carbon just one atom thick can be 100 times stronger than steel by weight and has the potential to revolutionize electronics.
