Why graphene hasn’t taken over the world...yet

Graphene is a form of carbon that could bring us bulletproof armor and space elevators, improve medicine, and make the internet run faster - some day. For the past 15 years, consumers have been hearing about this wonder material and all the ways it could change everything. Is it really almost here, or is it another promise that is perpetually just one more breakthrough away?

Hi. Yes awesome. I don't know about Verge Science but there has been significant if not miraculous strides made in the production of Graphene the last year and a half. The leading group doing the work is the chemistry labs at Rice University ran by professor Dr. James Tour. This is one of the latest videos Tour put out. It's a general overview of several things he has in the works but it's a good place to start digging into Graphene progress to date. It's actually quite remarkable. Here is a link; Good luck and enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHrFmJSrnbtlgNU .

As someone working in graphene research, it really is a miracle material and we're already mass producing it. Big semiconductor already has the processing figured out too. All it takes is for some company to invent a profitable device for graphene to really enter the market.

yeah they definitely are hypocrites in the sense that they say the media is over hyping it and expecting it to come tomorrow and then go do exactly that. however, they did also cover WHY it is better, it is hands down the strongest material known to man for its given "thinness", and is also the best electrical conductor that could be used in practical applications like making cpu/gpu/ or whatever SoC you could dream up. the only thing better at conducting than graphene is super conductors, which require temperatures so low that they are impractical for consumer use. to put simply on why its difficult to manufacture, its not that making the material is hard, but making it in USEFUL forms is difficult. Example, they can make millions of tiny flakes of the material, however the process to make a single connected sheet the size of your finger nail has not come along yet, they need more precise methods other than just using school tape on a block of graphite. i hope this helps. EDIT: Dont quote me on this but i was just reading further in the comment section and apparently there IS a method that came up recently that can reliably make very large sheets of what is practically pure graphene. i havent done any research on it in a couple years so im sure there are some things i might have been able to cover but oh well, just some blanket info ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@knutcasegaming]

I have a question. If graphene is a material that puts carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern which makes it really strong and durable. And if sound travels faster through solids than it does with gases. And because graphene is a solid that is formed in a special way. How fast would sound travel through graphene. Could it be so fast and also still cheap enough to be used as a way to talk to someone. Probably not beating a phone on speed but still. If you were to get a wire if graphene and play sound through it. would it go incredibly fast. Would you even hear a sound. It's possible that because of the form of the material that it might spread the sound so much that you can't hear anything from the other side

[@bable6314]

Is it the content or the video quality of the content that you admire? There's not a lot of science discussed in it, but there are some disturbing cues as to the video's purpose - lots of money for high quality production, mention of RFID chips, huge but mostly empty production building, and the choice of pages from a book about graphene, where the author bashes Christianity. Something is amiss here.....

@@voracioussergal9360 They knew about the properties of carbon, its properties (as far as they knew before 2010). They researched, studied, looked at previous records of experiments, tests, theories and hypotheses... yes, they did great research and studies to come to that conclusion that with a carbon and a duct tape you could literally do such a wonderful thing as graphene. In this case, it was neither luck nor coincidence. Just long-standing science and research.

What I am wondering is if Graphene would be more eco-friendly and recyclable for reuse in other products? If so, wouldn't that solve all our issues when it comes to landfills. We just process everything back into Graphene flakes and then boom, refilled our Graphene storage.

Plastic can remain stable for centuries. Paper on the other hand releases methane when it breaks down in landfill in fairly short time. Go bury a plastic straw and a paper straw and see what happens to each over time. And ask yourself what became of the paper.

Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology cannot be implemented in graphene. So it cannot replace Si for devices. But other applications may apply to it.

The thing about groundbreaking technologies over the past 30 years is that people almost never rave about them. Lithium polymer batteries practically tiptoed onto the scene.

I'd say blockchain, AI, quantum, electric vehicles and fusion are some obvious exceptions. There are techs that take the world by storm and some less exciting ones that sneak by. Tech that can be utilized or has the potential to impact everyones life directly usually is discussed en masse,
