| In a strain measurement using perfect samples of graphene, Columbia University researchers have confirmed that is the strongest material ever tested. Illustration showning the one-atom-thick atomic structure of graphene (Jeffrey Kysar, Columbia University) The finding provides evidence that graphene transistors could be the most effective material to withstand heat in future ultrafast microprocessors.
