Researchers recently discovered a strange new state of matter in the dynamics of currents flowing through layers of graphene.
About Graphene:
It is an allotrope of carbon, along with diamond and graphite.
It is a two-dimensional material consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure.
The stacked form of graphene is graphite.
Graphene was first isolated in 2004. Since then, it has utilised in various innovative applications, from sensors and electronics to energy storage and healthcare.
Properties:
Thickness: Graphene is the world's thinnest material – it is only one atom thick, one million times thinner than a human hair.
Strength: It is 200 times stronger than steel but six times lighter.
Flexibility: It is extremely flexible and stretchable.
Conductivity: It is an excellent electrical and thermal conductor.
Transparency: It is almost perfectly transparent since it only absorbs 2% of light.
It is impermeable to gases, even those as light as hydrogen or helium.
