A Graphene Revolution: 2D Sheets, Straintronics, Nanomechanical Properties - Ep 26
Description
Dive into straintronics and mechanical kinks (nanocurtains or or nano-speed bumps) with 2D sheet graphene.Similar to nano-origami, deformed 2D sheet graphene altered material's electronic and mechanical properties and accidentally created the tiniest microchips ever. Adding up to 1% wt of graphene sheets or GOx could make carbon fiber 225% stronger and 184% stiffer. Learn about the applications including highly-sensitive cancer biosensors, advanced water filters, and next-generation energy storage battery parts. Straintronics can increase the amount of transistors inside microchips by 5-6X to make computers, phones, and devices 1,000X faster and Increase time duration of nanorobots and gears by up to 10X.
