Graphene—the world’s strongest material is also one of the lightest. At one atom thin, it is 100 times stronger and three times lighter than steel of the same thickness. And, it can conduct both heat and electricity better than copper. Since its first production over a decade ago, graphene research has expanded dramatically to tap into this wonder material’s potential.

Assistant Professor Chandra Veer Singh, together with Mechanical & Industrial Engineering’s Assistant Professor Tobin Filleter recently spoke to the Toronto Star about the supermaterial that could launch the next technological revolution.
