Graphene activities

Tinker with graphene
and its properties

Graphene is the first 2D material fabricated on Earth. It consists of a two-dimensional, hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms.

Despite being one-atom thick, graphene is stable and surprisingly strong. The physics of graphene makes it an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, while being flexible, stretchable, and almost transparent (it only absorbs 2.3% of light). All these characteristics in just one material make graphene a very promising tool for the development of new technologies.

Below you can find links to the instructions to hands-on activities related to graphene for high-school students. In the Extras sections you can find interesting links to external resources to learn more about this amazing material.
