Innovations continue to emerge, with researchers developing graphene-enabled technologies such as ultra-fast charging batteries that can reach full capacity in a mere five seconds and electrochromic glass capable of toggling between solar heating and cooling modes.
A New Type of Concrete
Recent developments in construction materials have also harnessed the power of graphene. At the University of Exeter, scientists have discovered a method to enhance conventional concrete with water-stabilized graphene dispersions. The resultant 'graphene concrete' boasts double the strength and quadruple the water resistance of standard concrete, showcasing graphene’s potential in improving traditional materials.
