Graphene layer of carbon atoms - 4K Bildbanksvideo

Graphene is an allotrope (form) of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in an hexagonal lattice. It is the basic structural element of many other allotropes of carbon, such as graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes.

Graphene has many unusual properties. It is the strongest material ever tested, efficiently conducts heat and electricity and is nearly transparent. Graphene shows a large and nonlinear diamagnetism, which is greater than that of graphite, and can be levitated by neodymium magnets. Source: Wikipedia
