How thin is Graphene?
One of graphene’s most dynamic properties is its remarkable thinness. At just one atom thick, graphene is one million times thinner than the diameter of a human hair. It thinness allows it to be extremely flexible and conduct heat and electricity fantastically well.
Graphene’s thinness lends itself perfectly for the development of future technology. Its high conductivity makes it perfect for aiding in CPU cooling and creating more efficient technology.
