Graphene is stronger than diamond and a screen coated with it would be almost indestructible -- or at least wouldn't break when it slips out of your hand. Toughened glass has multiple other uses, of course, and the other properties of graphene mean that smart windows and windshields are re...
Graphene is stronger than diamond at extremely thin regime17, and much more reasonable for mass-production. Graphene has several unique features suitable for laser ion acceleration, i.e., the thinnest, lightest, transparent and the strongest material at this regime18. Direct irradiations of the ...
Take graphene, the single layers of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice that my colleagues and I first isolated in 2004. Graphene is stronger and stiff er than diamond, yet can be stretched by a quarter of its length, like rubber. Its surf ace area is the largest known for its...
When graphene was discovered in 2004 by a professor at the University of Manchester the news sent ripples throughout the petrochemicals industry. Stronger than diamond, the two-dimensional material is made up of a single layer of carbon atoms bound in a hexagonal lattice. Scientists were enamoured...
But the atoms within those layers are very tightly bonded so, like carbon nanotubes (and unlike graphite), graphene is super-strong—even stronger than diamond! Graphene is believed to be the strongest material yet discovered, and is often described as "200 times stronger than steel." [3] ...

The hope is to develop this into ultrathin body armor, as light as foil, but strong as diamond, that is capable of stopping a bullet dead in its tracks. (Interestingly, the graphene shield’s ultra-hardening effect only results when two sheets of graphene are used, with extra layers appea...
Stronger than diamond, yet lightweight and flexible, graphene enables electrons to flow much faster than silicon. It is also a transparent conductor, combining electrical and optical functionalities in an exceptional way. Graphene has the potential to trigger a smart and sustainable carbon revolution,...
Stronger than a diamond yet a million times thinner than a human hair, the properties of graphene are astounding. The market for this material may still be in its infancy, but graphene is already being hailed as one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. For the composite market,...
Unparalleled Strength What makes graphene the ultimate material for phone protection? Because it’s up to 200x stronger than steel and harder than diamond, dropping your device is no longer the nightmare it used to be. Whether it’s on carpet, concrete, or tile, ZAGG’s s containing graphene...
