Graphene and their uses
Made by: Garcia Pelayo Ramon de jesus
The graphene can be considered as a material that can revolutionize the electronic components and products, due to a series of properties and amazing capabilities. Soon left behind the domain of silicon to enter in the golden age of carbon thanks to the variant call graphene.
This is a material surprising that seems to be able to replace the elements present technological, increasing its capacity to limits amazing. The graphene will become a product with multiple applications that generate countless benefits for society. Is still in the initial stages of experimentation because it is difficult to manufacture due to its peculiar structure but the expectations are high and the hopes many.
Can be considered very recent discovery of this new material, barely 5 years that appeared the first studies by various scientists in Manchester and Russia, Dr. Kostya Novoselov, of the Institute for the technology of microelectronics Chernogolovka.
The graphene is a semiconductor that can operate on a nanometric scale and at ambient temperature, with properties that no other semiconductor offers and everything points to that you will be able to create new devices miniature electronic unsuspected. It is still too soon to know the reality of the applications that will, however has already achieved a great importance in the physics.
The following are some of the applications that you might have this material:
Mobile: This material will radically change the appearance of the mobile terminals radically. Thanks to its properties of transparency and flexibility are to create mobile of another generation, no defined color, no definite shape, fully adaptable and flexible. Like a chameleon, it will confuse the skin and the technology. It seems that new trends point toward a technology adapted perfectly to the physiognomy of the human being.
Computing: has managed to make the transistors of graphene 10 times faster than silicon (could attain speeds of 1,000 GHz).
It is estimated that it might create hard drives of the
same size from the today, but capable of storing 1,000 times more
information.On the other hand, the useful life of this type of systems based on
rust of graphene is planned in some 100 thousand cycles of "change of
state", i.e. a performance similar to a typical flash memory, although it
is expected that these figures may be raised to 1 million cycles.
Energy: The graphene could be used for batteries designed to areas of energy use. It is estimated that will revolutionize the concept of renewable energy and the rise to new levels of efficiency never views.The researchers see a wide variety of applications for the oxide paper of graphene, including their use in membranes with controlled permeability, and for batteries or ultracondensadores intended for uses in the energy field.These energy storage devices could help to store sudden outbreaks of energy, therefore, would help to take advantage of the irregular supply by sources "green".
This will revolutionize the concept of renewable energy and the rise to new levels of efficiency never vistas.Como we see the promise of a new era based on the carbon (and not in the silicon) is about to forced marches. .In the medium term, we can see ourselves flooded of devices, mechanisms and technologies based on the graphene, with some yields several orders of magnitude above what we are accustomed now.
Electronics: The company Vorbeck Materials is manufacturing conductive inks based on the graphene and electrical contacts for the development of flexible displays.The other characteristics of the graphene which has attracted most attention is that, despite its extreme hardness and density, is a material of an extraordinary flexibility.
- This is because it is a glass of the fineness of the thickness of an atom with a weight barely noticeable. If its ductility and lightness binds its high electronic conductivity, graphene becomes a great candidate for the screens of the devices in the future.Its characteristics of flexibility would allow folded and extended to suit the user to display both a large screen in high definition as a bracelet with information, in its multiple variants.On the other hand, combined with the known as ink solar, could prove to be a suitable material to develop solar energy panels to provide devices to be reloaded to themselves, even in low light conditions.

A company dedicated to the project development of
alternative energies has already received on the part of a company of Chinese
capital an investment for 300 million dollars for investigations with solar
ink.
Avionics: the Pentagon is developing a development project of additives of fuel with tiny sheets of grafeno, which might achieve that the planes fly even more rapid and that its engines go so far as to be provided with better conditions of efficiency and protection of the environmental sostenibilidad. With this new element they would be capable of optimizing the fuel used in the jet airplanes, allowing the same ones to reach major speeds and to economize on resources. An advance that would constitute an inflection point in the use of the engines of combustion in the aviation.
