DailyGood: Graphene Wins Nobel Prize

Looking closer can make something beautiful. --Cynthia Lord Good News of the Day: Two University of Manchester scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for their pioneering research on graphene, a one-atom-thick film of carbon whose strength, flexibility and electrical conductivity have opened up new horizons for pure physics research as well as high-tech applications. Graphene is one of the strongest, lightest and most conductive materials known to humankind. It's also 97.3 percent transparent, but looks really cool under powerful microscopes. [ more ] Be The Change: Take a closer look at these intricate microstructures: [ more ] Share A Reflection! tell a friend | archives | unsubscribe a service of CharityFocus 104890 subscribers Rate:
