Meet graphene | Catharina Paukner | TEDxDanubia

Everyone is talking about graphene, the new super‐material of the future, which will bring huge changes - proves the pioneer scientist, who dares to re‐think our everyday life and create something completely new. In her highly entertaining speech, Catharina explains that the areas of application of the world’s strongest material are limitless, ranging from power supply, aerospace, automotive and construction to healthcare and the design of everyday electronics, preventing collapses of buildings to a new design in heating our homes.
Catharina is the co‐founder and Chief Scientist of Cambridge Nanosystems Ltd., a company that produces graphene in industrial quantities without compromising on quality. Labelled in the UK media as "The First Lady of Graphene” and one of the eight business leaders to watch in 2015, she is “an amazing scientist with a passion for her work that is infectious”. She received her MSc in Chemistry from the Karl Franzens University in Graz and developed her PhD research in Materials Science at the University of Cambridge. She has been awarded Fellowship of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA) in recognition of her role in the design of new nanomaterial manufacturing systems.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

It’s even great for inoculations.🤩👍🏽

[@7msjster]

What would happen if they spray Ed it in the sky? As part of the climate control chemical. This is a better reason to wear a mask. Wait you could soak in it and bullets would bounce off? Right!?

[@phloophnunya867]

Only if great means death, disability and mark of the beast, then yeah, great stuff. 👍

[@AmbassadorScorpio]

[@ranjitkonkar9067]

Another comment says this, and I want to ask too - if the very definition of graphene is "a mono-atomic layer of carbon" and its properties derive from that, then the moment you shred it into powder, it would cease to be that (a sheet of carbon atoms), wouldn't it? And all its properties that arise from being a single large sheet should disappear, shouldn't they? Properties such as tensile strength in the plane of the atoms, transparency, conductivity, etc. all of which rely on the orderly arrangement in a single plane. Milled into powder, the single macroscopic plane is no more and tiny shards of it remain, each in themselves microscopically-sized planes haphazardly oriented. How is it special anymore? How is it still graphene? Multiple stacked layers of graphene become graphite. Why isn't graphite as strong or stronger than a single layer? At least the layers of graphene in a block of graphite are arranged parallel to one another, reinforcing the structure, not randomizing it. Some light on this would be highly appreciated. Obviously not understanding something.

[@MrRollie51]

This was the best graphene talk I've seen to date!

[@ActiveDuke]

Agree, I am hoping to find this person, since she stated a lot of interesting things in this talk

[@davidcoro27]

Wow, so well put and fun to listen to.

[@aussietaipan8700]

Tread very carefully with Graphene, if there are so many good traits there will also be equally bad traits. I like the idea of structure sensors and one she did not mention enhancing battery technology but again tread carefully.

[@cortbutterfield2714]

I agree... no element is purely In favor of human survival and it is because elements are not humans... elements are inanimate

[@cortbutterfield2714]

Humans contain conciousness elements do not

[@cortbutterfield2714]

Again tread carefully

[@cortbutterfield2714]

Were talking about HUMAN evolution here, not technological

[@treesonstumps]

@@cortbutterfield2714 some are speculating this graphene oxide is the actual covid 19, loss of sense of smell symptom is connected...some think they used it in chemtrails...

[@edwardarruda7215]

Asbestos was thought to be a great thing once.

[@jhendricks203]

She only hinted at graphene, now in 2018 the possibilities are being developed in many areas, Cars alone will be a huge market as they now have 4-500 mile range. The other areas are almost endless.

[@dfrankrobinson]

Graphene airship with no helium/hydrogen loss.

[@hinasamal8406]

we want to hear from professor Andrew Geims and his colleques nobel liurates in connection with cvd processes and dopping with trivant or pentavalent element with graphen to make photo solar emitor diod solarcells panels easily

[@BisMaxx]

I enjoy the benefits of Graphene every time I fly! It's awesome, and its only now starting to be used in the type of power I require! Give it a few years and it will be even more efficient! I cannot wait!

[@gratitude62]

she was awesome....

[@Vidz0022]

wow the interlacing on this vid is pretty bad

[@AlapanSamanta]

What about graphene batteries?????

[@gemmafarquhar5479]

Thats what humans will be if this is in the vaccines

[@AlapanSamanta]

@@gemmafarquhar5479 I didn't get what you are trying to say

[@user-xi9ls7gg4e]

Dear colleges I am going to study this material I wonder which major I have to choose in order to study it Chemistry or Physics or smt else

[@BruceRyanCannaCorp]

Physics and material technologies.

[@scottcarlon6318]

Chemistry would be a good minor.

[@vdashuta]

Молодец Исабек !! ТЫ уже выучелся?? HOW IS YOUR PROGRESS? )

[@cortbutterfield2714]

Thermo electro conductive, hyperflexible AND hyper tensile, AND ULTRALIGHT weight... seems like a no brainer

the downside is immense. If it is so strong then its bio decay must be very long, so if it is used in a product, then 30 years later the product is obsolete and thrown into the landfill, will the grapheen not bio degrade for tens of thousands of years. Just look at the environmental disaster of plastic water bottle use for 30 to 40 years, and how there are islands the size of texas floating in the pacific from plastic bottles. If we start using something like grapheen it will not biodegrade easily and eventually it will overwelm the ecosystem. Currently woood and wood products are ideal, sure they only have a life cycle of 200 years at most, say for instance in home construction, but then at least at the end of the 200 years the wood will bio degrade back into the soil, and decompose until it would be part of rich soil, then it can be used again, and again. Where as, something like grapheen, if it isused on a building, if peices of it fall of and get into water supply or the soil, or a building is destroyed and its grapheene component are thrown in a landfill, those grapheen components will last for a very long time and clutter the ecosystem. I think they should think twice before using such a powerful substance. Think long term and dont be short sighted, there is always a trade off for progress

[@Yetipfote]

there might be bacteria which are very good at digesting carbon...

[@kamronmartinez487]

Graphene is carbon so pretty much fertilizer and good for plants

[@ManishGupta-bq4cd]

it is carbon only, dont worry

[@aussietaipan8700]

2021 and this was still interesting but no real movement with graphene in industrial/electrical application as far as I understand

[@kakarot1568]

Graphene is the real world vibranium

She is moving, swinging, swaying too much that disturb me. She should have taken a course to how to perform in front of large audiences and how to control your gesture and voice tone and not having stage fright.

[@user-dy5ho4sj2w]

[@crumpsvapes2814]

don't put WD40 on your bike chain like she suggests!

[@vdashuta]

Why not???

[@patrikpetersson9742]

GET TO THE GRAPHENE CHOPPER!

[@spinnera5]

Patrik Petersson hahaha

[@chaudry123]

Things are very very difficult than talking explosively

[@alfredwilliam1184]

carbon, coal dust, graphite, we have graphite grease for 40+ years, everyone is is saying the same old thing, but no one is making anything just pulling vast amounts of money in very clever. just like the carbon credit scam.

[@hinasamal8406]

we also dream aromatic polymer from greenhouse gas would reduce global warmth .

[@hinasamal8406]

we dream biosensors that can make transducers to monitor nuro variations out of disorders​ in behavioural food intake disorders

[@vdashuta]

How spectacular both idea, wow. That would be something amazing )

[@cortbutterfield2714]

Thermo-electro-conductive!?!!

[@monicab.5241]

Funny they keep calling this stuff new, graphene has been around since like the mid-1800s

[@artytomparis]

But graphene still doesn't exist in any manner other than in tiny quantities and cannot be 'painted' with a paint brush without ceasing to be graphene. Graphene is a single layer of graphite. Sloppy application methods such as mixing it into concrete result in it no longer being graphene. If you are going to be that excited, then get excited about your pencil.

[@myatthwenaing9747]

wouldn't that 'mixing it into concrete' be called making a composite out of graphene..? o.o

[@josephhardin8391]

You are thinking of monolayer. You can, however, use graphene to make composites. There is a "same difference".

[@M91211]

This lady is very intense 😐

[@BisMaxx]

I love her passion and intensity. I can truly relate.

[@RichardTyroneJones]

and look at cambridge nanosystems website - she really loves the Beatles!

[@AmbassadorScorpio]

And then we can

[@n1mbusmusic606]

I will meet this person. her and Klaus slackner and se kwon Kim

[@amirx1253]

;) 🤑🤑🤑

[@RichardTyroneJones]

I'm not sure about painting graphene ink conducting 240V directly onto your walls, you'd still need a non-conductive layer on top and a safe plug connector at the end! Imagine your kids touching it!

[@ActiveDuke]

How can you make graphene out of greenhouse gases..?

[@True-os6tg]

8 years since won nobel prize and still see nothing .

[@BruceRyanCannaCorp]

Company in the UK is making batteries. Company in NY is doing super capacitors. Heard Samsung has a graphene product. Hey, silicon took 10 years.....

[@True-os6tg]

I dunno ,I saw Bladerunner and we re all driving flying cars by 2019 so we better get moving .
