Graphene sheet. Graphene is a planar sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern
Graphene sheet. Graphene is a planar sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. Stacked graphene sheets form the common material graphite, used in pencils and industry. Graphene is very strong and flexible. It transports electrons highly efficiently and may one day replace silicon in computer chips and other technology applications. The 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov for their work on graphene sheets

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible structure of graphene, a revolutionary material that has sparked immense interest in the scientific community. The image captures a close-up view of a graphene sheet, which consists of carbon atoms arranged in an intricate hexagonal pattern. It is fascinating to observe how these stacked graphene sheets ultimately form graphite, a commonly used substance found in pencils and various industrial applications. Graphene's exceptional properties make it truly remarkable. Not only is it incredibly strong and flexible, but it also boasts highly efficient electron transportation capabilities. This unique combination of characteristics has led scientists to envision a future where graphene could potentially replace silicon in computer chips and other advanced technological applications. The significance of this breakthrough cannot be overstated - so much so that Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were awarded the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics in 2010 for their groundbreaking work on graphene sheets. Their research has paved the way for further exploration into nanotechnology, organic chemistry, and covalent bonds at an atomic level. As we admire this mesmerizing photograph from Science Photo Library, let us appreciate the beauty within science itself. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary materials like carbon can hold extraordinary potential when examined through the lens of innovation and discovery.
