Part 3/7:
Graphene's properties are truly astonishing. It is the first two-dimensional material ever identified, measuring just one atom thick, yet remarkably stronger than steel—150 times stronger, to be precise—while still being incredibly lightweight. This unique flexibility allows it to stretch up to 120% of its original length, resembling the pliability of rubber.
Despite its advantages, graphene is not without drawbacks. One notable limitation is that graphene cannot be "turned off." As a result, devices that utilize this material could face power consumption challenges, leading researchers to explore methods to integrate graphene within existing technologies, particularly silicon-based systems.
