Part one : Discovery and controversy -- Chapter 1. Carbon, carbon, everywhere! -- Chapter 2. What happened to the other carbon miracle materials? -- Chapter 3. The discovery of graphene -- Part two : Infiltrating our lives -- Chapter 4. A miracle material waiting to burst forth -- Chapter 5. Coming soon to a store near you? Or, so what? -- Part three : Winners and losers -- Chapter 7. Disruption -- Chapter 8. Obstacles -- Part four : What's next? -- Chapter 9. Graphene in space! -- Chapter 10. Graphene cybernetic organisms -- Chapter 11. Using the rest of the table.;"What if you discovered an infinitesimally thin material capable of conducting electricity, able to suspend millions of times its own weight, and yet porous enough to filter the murkiest water? And what if this incredible substance is created from the same element that fills the common pencil? That's graphene--a flat, two-dimensional, carbon-based molecule with a single sheet measuring only one atom thick. With a wide range of promising applications--from medical sensors to smart-phones and building material ten times stronger than steel--this revolutionary and highly adaptable substance is one of the most exciting developments in materials science in recent decades."--Page 4 de la couverture.
