Graphene

Graphene has the potential to replace silicon in many applications.

An excerpt from the article 19 facts about graphene

Graphene can be used to create microprocessors a thousand times more efficient than those we know today. Its transparency and excellent conductivity make graphene suitable for producing transparent, rolled-up touch displays and for producing renewable energy from photovoltaic modules and storing it in high-performance batteries or supercapacitors.

Graphene sensors can register the presence of a single molecule of a harmful substance, which is why they are used, for example, in monitoring or environmental protection.
