Two Russian-born scientists shared this year's Nobel Prize in Physics. In 2004 they discovered the thinnest and the strongest material on Earth. It's graphene. . It's much better but I couldn't find in on youtube. Scientists believe that graphene will be used in producing high-capacity-batteries, flat-screen-TVs and small computer chips. And what's even more important is that despite it's amazing properties graphene isn't rare. I believe that this material will bring about a technological revolution. Do you agree with me?
Yes, eco-friendly, not rare and possesses fantastic characteristics – sounds promising, doesn't it? Actually, I've watched a short piece of news about graphene and it made me a little bit perplexed – it was said that graphene could make the cover we use for our greenhouses enormously strong and so-to-say “everlasting-used”. But a great deal of companies that produce short-lived equipment have their income only because their production is in permanent demand. So, don't you think that the manufacturing application of graphene can be suppressed because it can make all these companies bankrupts? It is well-known what is preferred when THEY have to choose between income and progress...
Yes, this invention may give rise to a great revolution in science and technology. I've read a number of articles about graphene written by chemists and engineers and they all say that in the nearest future people will be able to use electronic devices we can only dream of nowadays.
