#Graphene, the strongest material we know of, can now be made 100 times more cheaply than before, thanks to a team of scientists from the University of Glasgow, who used commercially-available super-smooth copper for it to form on. Could this be graphene’s Holy Grail we have all been eagerly waiting for?
Inexpensive, mass-produced graphene could completely change the face of several industries, as well as medical devices.
If graphene could be utilized to make artificial skin, for instance, it would help provide sensory feedback for limb prostheses, which would change patients’ lives dramatically – their artificial limbs would be nearly as dexterous as natural limbs.
