Summary
Les Johnson Joseph E. Meany: Graphene
If you are interested in science, economics, history, or simply something in between that arises from the overlap of those three fields, chances are you will enjoy reading this book.
If you are already familiar with the concept of graphene, then its historical development and discovery may be of particular interest to you. What would happen if you discovered an infinitely thin material that conducts electricity well, can withstand weights a million times its own weight, and can also purify the most polluted water? And what if it is a material that has the same composition as the filling of the most ordinary pencil? Large groups of scientists are pursuing the goal of graphene becoming the main material for technological purposes by the second half of the 21st century.
Previous technological revolutions have taught us many things. Each new discovery allowed us to break through the experimental area and enabled achievements beyond our expectations. There is a high probability that the discovery of graphene will allow us to free ourselves from the shackles of using metal wires and bring us into the wireless era.
