New Report on Global Market for Graphene

Most TV watchers are familiar with the commercial jingle that's ingrained the notion of cotton as the 'the fabric of our lives'. In the industrial world where advanced materials reign, graphene is the new cotton. Graphene's unusual properties derive from its structure, a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms, with the atoms arranged in honeycomb lattices.
