Lecture on Importance of Graphene

Graphene is one-atom thick and comprises carbon atoms placed in hexagonal rings and has astounding characteristics, which has remarkably impacted the scientific community.

Graphene is a good thermal and electric conductor and can be used to develop semiconductor circuits and computer parts. It also facilitates laboratory tests in physics that involve quantum mechanics and relativity.

Associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of California, Riverside Jeanie Lau will deliver a lecture on graphene, its properties and potential applications. She will also describe its impact on the community in the next two decades. The paper titled, ‘Size Matters: Nanotechnology & Other Wonders in Carbon Flatland’, will be delivered on May 19th at the University Extension Center (UNEX).

According to Jean Lau,graphene is lightweight, tougher than steel and is transparent. It has the capability of replacing silicon in the field of electronics for the next generation. Its planar structure helps develop electronic devices and has multiple electrical properties. It measures one-atom in thickness, and can help develop nano-scale devices. It is a platform for condensed-matter physics that relates to physical characteristics of solid materials.

The lecture will be moderated by UCR's College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences and the Science Circle comprising university and community members.
