What's a notable characteristic of graphene, the material Geim investigated?
Heaviest metal
Strongest material
Most radioactive
Most transparent
Answer
Graphene, the material Andre Geim investigated, stands out as the strongest material known to date. Its exceptional strength originates from its unique atomic structure, consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. This remarkable arrangement endows graphene with exceptional mechanical properties, making it 200 times stronger than steel yet remarkably flexible.
