  • 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?

    Graphene... Yeah it's 2022 now. It'll be 2023 soon. So far it's been used in batteries primarily, less so in circuit boards, it has been prototyped in the medical industry though! They figured they could make little low powered nanobots that will be made primarily of graphene, letting them charge as they travel through your body, no clue if that research actually went anywhere.
    Edit: I am stating the year because they made predictions you peanut.

I hope to see a world where graphene is commonly used.

      Ive only studied it when it first look like a miracle material. Samsung was interested in using it in their batteries as well. That theory was a world changer for batteries, yet nothing still.
      Anyhow my question to you is, what do you think the biggest problems are now? They didnt really touch on it. Back then it was the gathering and tedious process of extraction through graphite.

      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)_/¯

      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.

      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.....

    It will never happen, at least not in this century is my prediction. Graphene is just mono-crystalline graphite, that's all. They have absolutely no idea how to make the stuff big enough for the extraordinary applications. All they can do right now is make it in powdered form which has limited uses.

    A graduate student in the Chemistry Dept in UT El Paso discovered how to make graphene from used motor oil. This was in 2014. The cost of an ounce made back then from graphite cost around $240. The cost of an ounce made from used motor oil cost 6 cents an ounce. The discoverer left the university and has been very quiet about his discovery. I hope he is building a factory making tons of graphene. Imagine space ships made from this material.
