Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice structure. It’s essentially a two-dimensional form of graphite, the material found in pencil lead. Despite its simplicity, graphene possesses extraordinary properties that make it a highly sought-after material for various applications.
However, producing and manufacturing stable yields of graphene at scale has baffled scientists and engineers. Yet, if a breakthrough in production occurs, graphene could usher in a new era, particularly in computing.
A graphene-based computer chip, in theory, would bring about a quantum leap in processing power, enabling significantly faster computational capabilities by orders of magnitude. However, eports of graphene breakthroughs have surfaced over the past 15 years.
The YouTube channel ColdFusion reports on yet another graphene breakthrough, but personally, I’ll believe it when I see it.
