Graphene Can Do Almost Anything


Graphene Can Do Almost Anything
It transports electrons 10 times faster than silicon, and may soon be replacing it as the go-to material for transistors and computer parts. …
We’re talking about “charging iPhones within five seconds” conductivity here. Imagine a world with electric cars that recharge as quickly as filling your tank with gas, or paper-thin foldable plastic phones that recharge the instant you set them down — that’s exactly what graphene offers. And then there’s the slight matter of its strength. Mix graphene with metals, and it increases their resilience 500-fold.

  1. This will be the screen material for my see-through-phone that will confirm to the shape of the pocket is held in, I imagine. I think I saw a prototype (can't remember the type of device) with a pull-out-screen. I think we should skip to projecting on glass...

  2. For charging my phone/tablet I'd choose 10 seconds any day/time/galaxy.
