About Graphene
Graphene is a layer of carbon that is only one atom thick, and may be the most amazing and versatile material known to humankind. In addition to being the first two-dimensional atom crystal to be discovered, graphene is the thinnest and most resilient material that is light and flexible despite being even harder than diamond. Graphene's outstanding electronic, mechanical and thermal properties and high chemical stability allow it to be placed as an additive into structures. Graphene enables lighter and more reliable products that last longer.
