A few years ago , researchers discovered its electrical properties , which make one - micrometer sheets of the clobber ideal for tiny computerized devices . Now a new discipline reveals that graphene may also be one of the potent materials have sex to homo . It has a breaking strength of 55 newtons per m . That means if you had a sheet of graphene that was the thickness of typical plastic wrapper , it could support the weight of a 2000 kg car before breaking . Just to make thing even more mega , graphene is also transparent . radical - thin , invisible body armor , here we follow ! [ New Scientist ] Image viaCoderforfood .
