The fixed hexagonal structure of graphene exhibits a fixed atomic arrangement. Within this structure exists the Diract point, which occurs as a result of the energy to movement relation in graphene existing in a linear fashion near the six individual corners of the hexagonal structure.

Cancer is often referred to as “smart,” and this term often refers to the ability of these cells to proliferate without purpose or restraint. The ability of cancer cells to develop multidrug resistance (MDR), a major problem that patients can face, making treatment against this disease even more elusive.

Tribology is the study of interacting surfaces in motion and the measurement of properties such as friction, wear and abrasion. When designing nanoscale devices the consideration of tribology is particularly important because the high surface area ratio enhances problems with friction and wear.
Tribology is the science of wear, friction and lubrication which has been utilized in biomedical applications. Medical grade metals and alloys can provide internal support in the body and are employed as replacements for biological tissue.
Tribological properties associated with wear, friction and lubrication are important to the implementation of many biomedical applications. Medicine now allows for the replacement of biological tissue with artificial devices.
