Graphene, at one-atom thickness, is the thinnest compound known to man. Yet it is 200 times stronger than steel and can move electrons across its surface up to three orders of magnitude better than silicon. Scientists and industry experts want to exploit graphene to produce things such as bendable computer screens, desalinated water, more efficient solar panels and lightning fast microcomputers.

A phone call waylaid him from his “cooking” experiment for 15 minutes. When he returned, Boyd saw that a malfunction allowed trace amounts of methane vapor to trickle into his sample. The happy accident produced graphene.

said they are the first to invent a technique that will allow fast, room-temperature production of miles-long sheets of high-quality graphene.

David Boyd, a Caltech staff scientist who developed the new technique, called previous methods "rather barbaric" compared to what he accidentally discovered in 2012. Now the material can be created at 842 degrees Fahrenheit.
