Graphene Future

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon - it is composed of carbon atoms buts it does not form molecules but rather a dense net, crystal structure which is extremely thin and probably the strongest structure of one element in the nature. Just like the structure of graphite, atoms are connected to each other by gravity-creating bonds, however, much stronger and only one-atom-layer thick making graphene the thinnest material in the world. Its qualities were recently developed and examined by IBM, Nokia and other super technology giants that invested more than a billion Euros in researching an exploring the material.

According to physicist Novoselov, a Russian-British expert from University of Manchester and another Imperial College specialists, graphene is capable of transmitting electricity nearly 30 times faster than any other conductor of electric pulses thus being the most efficient energy transmitter ever known to mankind - it would allow signals to travel with speed nearing the speed of the light thus ensuring the greatest ever efficiency in internet and computer technology. No matter whether a computer is using octopus HR software of advanced NASA programs, the performance of the machine would be absolutely flawless, the processor would work on a hundred percent efficiency and the amount of information transmitted through the web can triple in quantity simply because 3 30 Mbits of speed would quite slow for internet traffic.

The technology would also allow space expeditions, scientific research, military operations and computer production to be conducted with even greater precision thus eliminating the risk of any production or operation mistakes.
