Researchers Create Complex 3D Structure Made of Graphene Aerogel

Ever since its discovery in 2004 graphene has been considered a wonder material, and researchers have great expectations for it. The material is 300 times stronger than steel, and a million times thinner than a human hair. It is also the world’s best conductor of electricity and heat. These features can positively impact many applications, such as making more powerful batteries, more efficient solar panels, and faster computers. Although, it is tough to manipulate graphene beyond it's two-dimensional form.
