To no one’s surprise, the usefulness of graphene has now been applied to farming improvements, with new technology developed at Iowa State University. Ever since its discovery, the super-strong, super-conductive graphene has been used in more and more applications that can take advantage of its extraordinary properties, and this one involves using it as a
In 2004, scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, of the University of Manchester, discovered an allotrope of carbon on a 2-dimensional atomic scale. They unearthed this idea by sticking scotch tape onto pieces of graphite found in pencil lead, and peeling it off. Thus the name, ‘graphene’. Shortly after their discovery, it was found
