Electronics
Yet the ultra-thin nature of graphene could be the answer to this problem. It may not be long before graphene replaces silicon in our electronic devices, making them faster than ever before. Graphene will also make it possible to build super thin, flexible touchscreens that would be virtually unbreakable.
What makes graphene so special is its sp2 hybridisation and very thin atomic thickness (of 0.345 nm). These properties are what enable graphene to break so many records in terms of strength, electricity and heat conduction.
