In 2010 two Russian-born scientists pioneered and synthesized a form of “wonder material” that generates heat and electricity at faster speeds, copes with high temperatures, and is almost transparent. Graphene is arranged in a flat hexagon lattice (like microscopic chicken wire) and is one atom thick two-dimensional 〖sp〗^2 bonded carbon. It is the world’s thinnest and strongest material, which can be manufactured into a plethora of provisions that can be used for next generation technology, such
2). This amazing material was named graphene. It is a sheet of atoms that can be picked up (Sheriff). Surprisingly, it resembles a honeycomb; the crystal lattice is composed solely of hexagons (Berger). Graphene is highly versatile, it has many interesting properties and it can be used in various electrical and medical applications. All forms of carbon can be represented by graphene. Graphite is stacked graphene. Buckyballs (carbon spheres) are just bent graphene. Even the famous carbon nanotubes can
reached a saturation limit, where if made smaller electrons cannot be stopped from source to drain. Graphene now comes into the pictures. Graphene, is the hot topic that every physicists, material scientists, and electrical engineers have been talking about. Why did it garner such popularity in the scientific world, and deserve a Nobel Prize? One, out of many great future application of Graphene is further the shrinkage of transistors. Dominated in a world of silicone transistors, as it is being
Introduction Graphene has received great mass media coverage since Geim and Novoselov published their foundlings about monocrystalline graphitic films in 2004, which won them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. (Novoselov et al, 2004) It has been described as the wonder substance or super material by the mass media, not only because it is the thinnest material ever known and the strongest ever measured, but also due to its excellent electrical, thermal, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties
the report will contain a detailed description of composite materials and nanoscale technology. An investigation will then be carried out on the use of nanoscale technology in composite materials, focusing on the approaches used for incorporating graphene into composite materials and what effect it has on the final product. 1.1 What are Composite Materials Composite materials are simply materials created by combining two or more materials with different properties to produce a final material with

Graphene is an interesting substance because, 1. As specified by Anthony King graphene “could be used to create products that are lighter, more robust, transparent, flexible and stretchable.” Like: a) Touch screen flexible monitors. b) Better solar panels. c) Use in hygiene products as discussed
Graphene is a single thin strongly packed layer of pure carbon atoms that are joined together in a hexagonal honeycomb matrix. In more comprehensive expression, it is a carbon allotrope arranged in a flat sp2 bonded atoms with a very small molecule bond length (0.142 nm). Graphite is formed by the arrangement of graphene layers on top of each other, with tiny inter planar gaps (0.335 nm) (Cohen-Tanugi and Grossman, 2012). This quite novel material has progressed rapidly toward scaling up production

diamond, graphite, and graphene. Depending on the allotropic form, the physical properties of carbon vary, for example, the diamond is transparent and graphite is black and opaque. I also chose carbon because it has untapped potential to benefit our lives and its many uses continue to
MAE 546 Final Project Interferometry-based optical fiber microphone using graphene diaphragm Introduction of conventional microphones and optical fiber microphone Microphone is a kind of device which includes an acoustic-to-electric sensor that converts sound into electrical signals. Conventional microphones use the mechanism of electromagnetic induction (dynamic microphone) or capacitance change (condenser microphone). Microphones have a great many of applications in our daily lives such as telephones
2.3 Graphene Oxide Graphene Oxide is single sheets containing defect sites arising from partial oxidation of the edge and basal plane and graphene is an atomically flat single layer of C-atoms with outstanding electrical, mechanical and photonic properties. Figure 1 below shows the structure of graphene oxide. Figure 1: Structure of Graphene Oxide (Gao et al., 2009) Graphene oxide is an amorphous with an sp2 hybridised carbon (graphene) base littered with oxygen groups a C/O ratio of between
Well, Expo 2020 is basically the world exhibition which will be held in Dubai, UAE in 2020. Expo 2020 is a global exhibition where countries will showcase their pavilions. The theme of Expo 2020 is Connecting-minds, creating-future which actually has three sub-levels which are Sustainability, Mobility, and Opportunity. Furthermore, Sustainability is the progress and the prosperity without the compact and the needs of future generations. Mobility is unlocking new possibilities for the people and Opportunity
Reduced graphene oxide functionalized structure controlled nickel sulfide (NiS, NiS2, Ni3S4) nanoparticles were synthesized using a temperature-controlled injection method. In single-solvent experiments oleylamine was used as solvent, in the case of multi-solvent oleylamine, oleic acid and octadecine were mixed together. The respective nickel sulfide phases were synthesized on the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets through the single-step temperature controlled injection processes. The complications
Expo 2020 in Dubai, is set to be a very impactful event that will bring minds together to find solutions to global issues. The miraculous multi-functional material graphene will surely be featured in this world fair and it will definitely play a huge role in the future of not only the UAE, but also the entire world. Dubai is assigned to host the prestigious World Expo in 2020, a huge global event that acts as a stage to showcase new innovations and inventions that are mainly concerned with finding
hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, potassium permanganate and hydrogen peroxide will be used for the oxidation process to oxidase graphite powder to graphite oxide. The next process will be to get the reduced graphene oxide. Hydrazine monohydrate will be used as the reductants. To make graphene as a glucose sensor, glucose, chitosan, phosphate buffer saline, potassium chloride, acetic acid, chloroplatinic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, ascorbic acid and uric acid will be used. All solutions
hexagonal and crystalline structure that easily cleaves which in turn makes it a soft material and effective lubricant. Its widely occurrence in earth’s crust makes it one the most abundant elements. Carbon presents itself in different allotropes such as Graphene, fullerenes and carbon nanotubes. Some of these allotropes have proven to be conducting and others to be semiconducting depending on their chemical nature (Ramuz & et al, 2012). Because of the abundance of carbon, carbon- based materials can be produced
3.5ng/mL (17.4mIU/mL), which was in agreement with the pregnancy status. Please insert Figure 5 here 4. Conclusions In summary, a new impedimetric biosensor for hCG determination in urine has been developed. A simple approach for generating a graphene-aminated surface to which an antibody binding with a suitable orientation for antigen binding is presented. The observed resistance to electron transfer increased linearly with increasing of log(hCG) concentration. The sensor response was not affected

In an ever changing world, science continues to shape and mold the world around us. Science produced the first gas-powered automobile, which enabled people to get places much faster. Science has paved the way for man to not only go to the moon but to dream beyond. It's nice to know that something as effective as science is innovating new ways to improve our society. Many of these products will help with any number of situations, ranging from what we make our cars and many everyday materials out of
take a sheet of graphene which is a single layer of carbon atoms, very similar to a honeycomb which all stack up to make graphite. When you peel away layers of graphite you get graphene. They then sprinkled molecules over the layer of graphene and ran a tunnelling electron microscope across the surface (function of the microscope explained in source 2), and because the graphene is very consistent and regular in its structure, it is very easy to subtract any effects that the graphene may be causing
