RE: The Black Panther's Vibranium: Could it be real? Is there any other Metal like it?

in #steemstem7 years ago

Some year back while searching online I came in contact with graphene. I was so curious that I really wanted to have a "physical feel" of this novel material.

Indeed, with the reported properties exhibited by it, it is easy for it to become such an idol with many fans!

Graphene is so thin that even paper is heavier than it a million times. What makes it so special is that it's electrons move so fast and act as if they are massless as observed in micro particles. It is indeed a super conductor.

Well-said, this contributes greatly to why it will survive a lot where Silicon and ITO are currently making waves.

However, some researchers believe it is coming at a time when there are other cheaper materials being used already at some of its applicable areas. For example, it might not be able to serve as a transistor by itself.

This is one of the reasons why it is crawling in terms of hitting the target of large-scale acceptance for unlike others with machines, processes laid down for their use, it will require some new machines and more and more researchers to perfect it for large-scale use and potential substitute.

I particularly look forward to seeing graphene based solar PV for the high efficiency it promises to deliver.

With the increased adoption of Solar panels everywhere, it will be a massive lift in the field.

Thanks for the additional input, I appreciate your time here.
