Graphene: the Strongest Material
Filed in archive Materials on July 31, 2008
Graphene is the strongest known material. Graphene was discovered in 2005 and was recently tested and found to be the strongest material known to man. Mechanical engineering professors at Columbia University tested graphene's strength at the atomic level by measuring the force that it took to break it. They created indents in graphene using a tiny diamond probe. Graphene may have a promising future in the semiconductor industry by acting as transistors in microprocessors. Sound interesting?

It (and several other search tools) allow users to search deep into the web (where Google can't), and into multiple research document databases in a single query. Really helps with ranking, too, as I don't have a lot of free time to sift the results myself. Keep up the great work, folks!
