The silicon, plastic, and glass that make up much of our tech these days could soon be replaced with something old, yet completely new: Graphene.
If graphene sounds like something that could fell a superhero, you're almost right. It’s the thinnest substance known to science, yet it’s 300 times stronger than steel and harder than a diamond. High-quality graphene is also transparent and flexible, and it’s an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.
