graphene 石墨烯

graphene
繁：石墨烯
简：石墨烯

石墨烯（Graphene）來自石墨（Graphite），是排列成二維六邊形格子的一層薄碳原子。獨特的結構使得這種材質擁有驚人拉力，強度比鋼筋強200倍，連鑽石也被比下去，重量只有每平方米0.77毫克，既輕且薄，故近年成為科學界的明星物料，用途愈來愈多，包括高速電腦晶片、太陽能電池和相機的感光元件等。

Graphene‘s signature property is its super-strength. More than 200 times tougher than steel, it is the strongest substance known to humans. Somewhat famously, in 2008, Columbia University engineer James Hone said it would take an elephant standing on a pencil to pierce through a sheet of graphene as thick as Saran Wrap.

Unbreakable rubber bands that are 200 times stronger than steel are coming soon. (2017, August 23). Business Insider. Retrieved from http://www.businessinsider.com/graphene-unbreakable-rubber-bands-2017-8
