- Published on 05 Feb 16

a. Graphite
b. Graphene
c. Both of the above
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Graphene
 
Scientists at University of Arkansas have created an artificial material with structure akin to wonder material graphene. Invented in the year 2004, graphene is a thick sheet of graphite which is as thick as one atom. Graphene transistors are more heat resilient than silicon transistors and may also increase the efficiency of computers. The first artificial graphene like structure with transition metal atoms instead of carbon atoms was created.
