    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.

      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)_/¯

    As someone working in graphene research, it really is a miracle material and we're already mass producing it. Big semiconductor already has the processing figured out too. All it takes is for some company to invent a profitable device for graphene to really enter the market.

      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.

    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.

I don't understand how you can compare graphene to that like it's not a big deal. This is like the oddest way to accidentally hype something up.

      Plastics are fine in general. The problem is that we use plastics for disposable products and "one-time-use" packaging. Your refrigerator has many plastic components. The milk carton inside your fridge is also plastic. Which product (fridge or milk carton) is more likely to end up in the ocean? Hint: It's the one you buy, use once, and throw away on a regular basis. The milk carton manufacturer _could_ have decided to use a wax-lined cardboard box (like you often see orange juice come in) which is much more biodegradable. But they went cheap and went plastic.

  • @knutcasegaming

    I have a question.
    If graphene is a material that puts carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern which makes it really strong and durable.
    And if sound travels faster through solids than it does with gases.
    And because graphene is a solid that is formed in a special way.
    How fast would sound travel through graphene.
    Could it be so fast and also still cheap enough to be used as a way to talk to someone. Probably not beating a phone on speed but still.
    If you were to get a wire if graphene and play sound through it. would it go incredibly fast.
    Would you even hear a sound. It's possible that because of the form of the material that it might spread the sound so much that you can't hear anything from the other side

    • @bable6314
