If you have not heard about this material, it should prove to be 
interesting reading

GRAPHENE

/The following are the//five 'Great Ages' of human progress and their 
approximate duration:/

· Stone Age — 3.4 million years

· Bronze Age — 2,500 years

· Iron Age — 500 years

· Industrial Revolution — 80 years

· Information Revolution — 20 years

/You'll notice the length of each 'age' diminishes as technology improves. /

/The computer industry calls this trend 'Moore's Law'. It dictates that /

/computer processing power doubles every 18 months./

200 times stronger than steel...150,000

times thinner than a human hair...more

flexible than a sheet of paper

/You may have heard about Graphene./

/If you haven't, it's a newly discovered, very special refined /

/form of graphite./

/It's a one-atom-thick sheet of densely packed carbon atoms arranged in 
a honeycomb lattice./

/Put simply, it's a sheet of carbon atoms 150,000 times thinner than a 
human hair. /

/Under a powerful microscope, it looks like chicken wire./

/But what's so special about it? /

/Everything./

/For starters, it's 200 times stronger than structural steel... /

It's so strong you could suspend an elephant from a single /strand of 
Graphene...and the strand would not break./

/It's extremely lightweight too... /

/Soon, everything from bicycles and boats to aeroplanes and cars could 
be made out of graphene composites./

/And when they are, their energy efficiency and durability could skyrocket./

/But that's just the beginning of what this new 'smart material////can 
do.../

/Not only is it the strongest material researchers have ever////tested — 
it's also one of the best conductors man has ever found./

/IBM has already created a graphene-based processor capable of executing 
100 billion cycles per second. /

/Researchers believe that in the future, a graphene credit card could 
store as much information as today's computers./

/Be clear.../

/This one material alone could prove more/

/revolutionary than — and soon REPLACE — /

/plastic, Kevlar and the silicon chip/




/In fact, it's such a breakthrough that the first two scientists to 
successfully produce single-atom-thick crystals/

/of graphene were awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics./

/And for good reason...In just two years, over 200 companies from a wide 
array /

/of industries have researched the magical potential of graphene.../

/Scientists in the US and China are already using tiny//graphene-based 
probes to target and identify tumours////in live mice. /

/They hope similar graphene-based particles////could shuttle cancer 
drugs to tumours...or even kill tumour////cells directly!/

Engineers at Northwest University, Seattle, foundthat specially crafted 
graphene electrodes could allow

a lithium-ion battery — like those found in yoursmartphone or Toyota 
Prius — to charge 10 times

faster and hold 10 times more power.

/And in 2011, chemists at Rice University, Houston,////created 
graphene-based thin films — unlocking the/

/secret to incredibly flexible, super-durable touch screens and solar 
cells that can wrap around just////about anything.../

/Samsung have already said its flexible displays should enter full-scale 
production later this year — and it expects /

/to have a dozen more graphene-based products on the market within the 
next five./

/IBM, Nokia and Apple are hot on their heels too./

/Touch screens...processor chips...casings...and batteries in everything 
from PCs and HD TVs to /

/tablets, mobile phones and hybrids could be all made with graphene./

/It could change entire industries...economies...and our lives. /

/Imagine.../

/HD TVs as thin as wallpaper.../

/Smart phones so skinny and flexible you can roll them up and put them 
behind your ear...and so durable you /

/can beat them with a hammer!/

/It's mind-blowing. /

/Imagine how our world — and your life — would change////if the 
batteries that run your iPhone...your Kindle../

/.and your laptop held 10 TIMES more power and charged 10 TIMES faster 
than they do now.../

/If you could eliminate breast cancer or prostate tumours with a simple 
injection...or by swallowing a graphene-charged pill... /

/If your house were strong enough to withstand a bush////fire — and your 
windows processed enough solar/

/energy to heat your home in winter and cool it in the summer.../

/If the car you drove were six times lighter and 20 times stronger...The 
effects would be staggering!/

/Fuel-efficiency would shoot through the roof. /

/People would live longer, healthier lives. /

/Cars and aeroplanes would be lighter, faster and////safer than ever 
before. /

/And electronics of every type would be launched into an era of 
unprecedented growth and evolution./

/This is just a taste of the cutting-edge innovations coming in the 
Molecular Age////innovations that will reshape the future in the months /

/and years ahead...and it's starting now./

/You're looking at a simultaneous eruption////of////new-age technologies 
that will alter our lives on a scale not seen for 100 years/
