Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is the thinnest, most electrically and thermally conductive material in the world. It is also flexible, transparent and incredibly strong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Biomedical<\/b>: \u200b\u200b<\/span>Graphene’s unique properties allow for ground-breaking biomedical applications. Targeted drug delivery; improved brain penetration; DIY health-testing kits and ‘smart’ implants.<\/span><\/p>\n Composites and Coatings:<\/b> One of the simplest and most effective ways of harnessing the potential of graphene is to combine it with existing products – so-called composite materials.<\/span><\/p>\n Electronics: <\/b>Graphene has the potential to create the next-generation of electronics, currently limited to sci-fi. Faster transistors; semiconductors; bendable phones and other electronics.<\/span><\/p>\n Battery<\/b>: <\/span>Graphene could dramatically increase the lifespan of a traditional lithium-ion battery, meaning devices can be charged quicker – and hold more power for longer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Graphene Membranes:<\/b> Graphene oxide membranes are capable of forming a perfect barrier when dealing with liquids and gasses. They can effectively separate organic solvent from water and remove water from a gas mixture to an exceptional level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Sensors:<\/b> Ultra-sensitive sensors made from graphene could detect minute dangerous particles, helping to protect potentially dangerous environments.<\/span><\/p>\n Source: <\/b>This post is based on the article \u201c<\/b>India\u2019s first Graphene Innovation Centre to come up in Kerala<\/b>\u201d <\/b>published in Indian Express <\/b>on 3rd Feb 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the news?
