Zora Yander that's weird, then why can lots of bullets go through bullet proof steel when it's thin, which means that since the graphene is literally 2d it will easily go through
Doragon Games and if it has the same resistance as the thing you are trying to penetrate,it won’t go through, and graphene will most likely never be used for bullets, it would be very expensive to make an item that expensive per round (It wouldn’t stop all injury, just not let it penetrate, like today’s Kevlar)
@@halalchicken8 because nowadays we say we have something bulletproof, but in fact it's only bullet resistant, and graphene can be 100x tougher, but the vest would have to be more solid because if it is too thin and flexible, the bullet will not cross but will enter the body wrapped in the graphene vest
Thank you. I try do get as accurate as I can with the info, but there is a lot of Fluff our there. My next video i will talk about how Graphene can be used for Computers which is also a bit misunderstood by people.
@@SubjectZeroScience You should also mention about Graphene Oxide(GO). İt is hot topic for composite material as you say in video about graphene doped resin. For produce it, you can check out the Hummers Method, Tour Method (James Tour). Graphene is realy solid but above 200 Celcius it is oxidiced because of that Graphene Oxide is comenly use for non electiric applications
You are right. The thing is, i have way too much information already to summarize and very little time to work on it. RU-vid Full time is still a dream away. Eventually ill get there.
Graphene alone can't be used as bulletproof armor because even if it can stop a bullet, it is so flexible that the projectile will penetrate your body wrapped in the graphene vest itself.
The issue being surface area and the contours of what you're wearing, if it was just a sheet, sure, but once you bring it to say, a full shirt, it could stop it, though you will suffer severe bruising and damage from the impact. With that said, a layer of padding would solve that issue, like the trauma pads currently used in conjunction with kevlar vests (as kevlar, too, will do the same, being a fabric and all.)
@@SCComega Exactly, but apart from using lots of layers the trick is in the type of fabric. Padding would be penetrated as well, also wrapped in the graphene vest, it's mandatory to use a type of fabric that distributes the impact force in a larger surface area like the pattern used in regular bulletproof vests. I think the most clear advantages are less weight and more flexibility.
It would probably be more like graphene sheets between layers of hard plastic, kind of like how bulletproof glass is just layers of glass and plastic in between.
And then one day the announce that it causes man boobs on from handling too long.. something weird like that cures one or two problems but ends up with a 1000 side effects. ..

Man, there is no way you are getting the compensation the work that these videos takes deserves. Huge respect for you putting out such amazing content, for what I am sure is minimal payoff. (At least financial payoff, I am sure you have your own reasons for doing this.)
that's why "Shall not" means start innocently experimenting with micro-drones, neutral network sensory arrays, mustard gas, and refined uranium and intimately knowing the structural layout of military bases, state agency hqs, and government capitals. in roblox, obviously.
Better get allot of body guards, they will be looking for you. No graphene because I SAID SO ATTITUDE. Just like Hydroxacloriquine cures the PANDEMIC. THE GREAT AWAKENING.😇
I'm in the process of starting a graphene manufacturing plant, your videos are right on the money. When people ask me questions about the material, I point them to you. Thanks for making such exceptional content!
Update as requested, final preparations on the machinery and product line IP, now funding and land sourcing in Saudi Arabia underway. Will keep you posted. Harder and more time intensive than I even imagined but I feel confident.
Subject Zero Science There is a guy in a video that says "Often people believe that Graphene is expensive and difficult to make, this was the case maybe 10 years ago, or 5 years ago, but is not the case anymore". Find the video by doing a youtube search for "mobile world congress 2019 graphene flagship". When you get to that video, skip to (3 : 41) in that video, once you get to it, and see what he says. Also please do check out the playlists I have made, using the steps below. It's not advertising, and they aren't my videos, but I do like to make people aware and help them learn, and I do get excited to see the total views of the playlists for that very reason. Check my youtube channel by right clicking on my avatar / picture icon to the left of this comment, click "open in a new tab", find the subscribed youtube channel called Technology Research with the playlists, find the playlists and click on "created playlists", I think some of them are hidden. And then click on the title / text of each playlist, not on the pictures. I would send a link, but youtube is being toxic I think, because when I log out and come back to the same videos, my comments with links aren't there, but when I log back in, they are there. Nothing like talking to yourself when trying to be positive and interested, and just trying to share the info. Please check out all the videos under each playlist from top to bottom in that order, and please check out all the playlists, and share.
@Dbell101 Thank you! I really enjoy sharing the info, more people need to know about it. I put those videos in that order for a good reason. And I update the playlists sometimes. Did you click on the title / text of each playlist, and not on the pictures? There's more information when you click on the title / text of each playlist, and when you click the "more" button under the playlist description. : ) Check the playlist description for the Graphene playlist, Photonic Computing, Quantum Computing, Other science and technology playlist, and several others, really good articles and some with videos! : ) It does make me very happy to know that you like it! I appreciate it!
I used to do some research helping as an undergraduate. I just remember the big promise was to get a negative refractive index in the THZ range and potentially create an invisible cloak.
Maybe if it didn't disrupt trillion dollar industries it would be worth it, but as soon as someone makes a working graphene electrical component it would get shut down so quick. Graphene is strong enough to be considered a military material. So just as other military materials and components are banned so will it. Either that or companies/corporations will go out and kill the guy. Just look at the hydrogen engine, the only reason they aren't on the market is because the main component uses military scraps.
Thanks! I believe that the major hurdle in graphene production - that of producing single-atom-thick sheets in macro sizes - is one that will not *_just_* solve the problems of a graphene industry. Such a technology / manufacturing ability is fundamental to both nanotechnology and to materials science in general. I noticed that at least one commenter suggested that micro-gravity would help. I think that if anything, the opposite is true. The key - which, unfortunately for the discussion at large, no one seems to mention - is how to get carbon atoms to attach to each other in a hexagonal pattern - but *_only_* in one dimension. If this could be done, it would be a revolution (as well as a revelation!) for both materials science *_and_* nanotechnology, as such a technique might very well be adaptable to other materials besides carbon. Conversely, if such a technique was discovered for another material, it might well be applicable to graphene. Short of some simple answer that no one's thought of - yet - it's going to take a lot more consideration of the atomic properties of the material in question (whether it be carbon for graphene, or some other material for some other purpose), including chemical, electrical & magnetic properties. For all we know, the answer could lie in a biological process! Obviously, even if one could create a one-atom-thick coating of graphene onto a substrate of some other material, one would still have the problem of 'peeling' it off in one piece! Thanks again for the video. I am always on the lookout for relevant news on this subject. I am quite fascinated by the whole subject of materials science, of which graphene is but one part (if an important one.) I will be paying attention to your channel! :) Rikki Tikki.
If you pierce through that you NEED TO get a son to pass you spear genes forward like IMAGINE SOMETHING LIKE THIS Robber:I GOT A KNIFE You: *pulls pants down*
The Beijing Institute of Graphene Technology (BIGT), eager to meet China's huge demand for top quality graphene, has not been able to find it among the many Chinese companies attempting to produce it. Instead they have decided to buy a stake of up to 15% in a small UK company, Versarien. Details of the deal are expected to be officially announced within the next month or two. The UK government has been instrumental in providing contacts and administrative guidance in securing this deal, because they too recognize the company as a world leader in the production and commercialisation of graphene and other advanced materials.
Thank you! I liked and subscribed while viewing your excellent video about graphene CPUs. It looked to me like it was going to be forever to break out of the lab. Good to see some practical applications!
Have you seen John Wick 3? He gets a bulletproof suit. It prevents bullet penetration, but won't prevent a bullet from transferring momentum into what's behind the jacket. So, you'd still get extreme tissue damage, but you won't have to dig a bullet out. You'd get a contusion-based injury instead of a deep laceration. If you want to prevent injury altogether, you'd need a penetration-resistant layer and a rigid layer to spread the force across a larger area.
Had an advanced materials and nanotechnology congress at my university where they talked about actual nowadays possible uses for graphene... Basically the most promising use is for energy cells thus being usable on electric cars Also reinforcement of materials like steel to prevent oxidation and improve their qualities. In the future we might be able to reinforce everything with a couple layers of it
Ee-gads! The next 5 to 10 years are going to be intense. Nanotech, AI, advances in fusion reactors, human longevity, on and on. It's beyond comprehension. What luck to be alive today!
All the stronger reason to tackle the environmental crisis of reaching a tipping point in excessive C02 in the atmosphere. Preventing it is nice but it's got to be removed from the atmosphere for this rosy future you reference can realistically ever take place. We are far more likely a mere 1-2 years before all large glaciers on earth are turned into water and sea level rise is over 40 meters. The world will be pressed to save the 40% of the world population from inundations that will wreck every economy on earth. We need WW-II emergency mobilizaiton effort to get 30% of the C02 out of the atmosphere ASAP.
@@paulmyguy I'm 100% in agreement with you. Though I didn't reference the amazing things happening to tackle that very problem, they are part of my/our hopeful future. I'm extremely concerned, as you are, about the health of our environment.
Forrest Lincoln Just one more point as food for thought. All of the progressing technologies I mentioned help directly or indirectly, in one form or another, with healing our environment. Fusion power for example would be a huge deal in more than one way.
MediaDevil Artisanphonics CB-01 Nanene® Graphene-Enhanced Luxury Wood Earphones have been on sale since earlier this year, and customer reviews are remarkably good.
To have a continued sheet of Graphene use a correlated magnet to aline the carbon structure of the sheet, hydrogen makes carbon magnetic on a atomic level so this will help with the correlation of the graphene.
J. J. Lilienfeld patented the field effect transistor in 1926. It took 33 years before someone successfully built one, due to the difficulties in making sufficiently pure silicon. The MOSFET has completely transformed our world. Materials science based revolutions take a long time to come to fruition. Another electronic device is the graphene Hall Effect (magnetic) sensor from Paragraf. I'm not sure if they're actually shipping yet, but they claim to have much better performance than conventional HE sensors due to elimination of the planar Hall Effect.
I get what you saying, but at this point, the industry realized the Money Making potential with it, so they go quiet, and suddenly you going to see a big explosion of graphene products. So much so that it will become boring really fast.
@@Arcamedi1 -_- I mean... We are sniff. Legit though the only reason we arn't off of earth as if it's common is because the people who were doing rocket research were being paid by the government alot of money... Why would you work yourself out of a job.
For clothing wise or jacked I doubt would be "bullet proof" I can see it stopping mid calibers but small calibers with high velocity or high calibers with high velocity I doubt. Even the mid calibers will at least cause fracture/broken ribs or bones and possibly internal bleeding depending where it hits. I say that since a jacket couldn't possibly absorb a 123 gr fmj round traveling at over 2000 feet per second with that force being focused on a surface of 1mm in size (approximate diameter of the tip of a 7.62x39 bullet). I mean i can see it replacing kevlar vests as a lighter option but it would still have to be a pretty thick vest to absorb that kinetic energy and stop penetration of many types of shells.
Yea in the end its all about competition and money fuels development. Just look at the automotive industry, before Tesla nobody were even concerned with mass production of electric cars because it wasn't worth the effort when no competing companies were doing it. Then Tesla came along and made a path in the dark, and now everyone are fighting to be at the top and it's pushing development like never before. Change like this only happens by the hands of influential and visionary people - or from the demands of competition. Once Graphene gets a real hold in the big industries, we are gonna witness a true technology revolution akin to the creation of the internet.
@@Real_MisterSir Same stuff happened with the car. Until the Ford T came out, cars were only a product for the richest. Ford by himself probably pushed car development 15 years ahead. Elon Musk is probably doing the same right now., disrupting industries that are turtle slow. The world does not lack brilliant minds, it lacks daring strong-willed individuals. What is amazing with Musk is that he is not trying to push one breakthrough, he is trying to do at 20 breakthroughs at the same time. If he keeps on like that he will have a place in history books.
Just start a group talking about methods of manufacturing and then others can apply those ideas for real world testing. We don't need their ideas to start an open method.
Nope. Google "anti-aging drug or drugs". There have been HUGE breakthroughs. I would bet we would see the end of aging much, much sooner than fusion or graphine. My guess, in chronological order, it would be anti-aging, then graphine, then fusion, then artificial super-intelligence. Although I suppose it's possible that anti-aging and graphine come at roughly the same time, (about 6-9 years from now).
I got a “kickstarter” ,graphene , power bank... it refused to take on a charge after its 1st discharge... I fought it w/ different cords, power sources... finally... it started working & NOW works like a champ ! (with all the prev hardware that failed) . The bank has amazing retention over time of no use, unlike others that trickle down over time. Am waiting, (years later) for mass production/ lowering in cost... but gave up holding my breath... must be many problems for manufacturers...
OMG GRAPHINE ORIGINATED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER!!! THIS IS WHERE I LIVE, IVE LIVED IN MANCHESTER MY WHOLE LIFE THE UNIVERSITY ISNT FAR FROM MY HOUSE!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE STRONGEST MATERIALS ON EARTH THAT HAS THE WHOLE WORLD HYPED RN WAS FIRST DISCOVERED RIGHT NEXT TO MY OWN HOUSE!! THIS IS AMAZING!!! I FEEL SO LUCKY!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST DISCOVERIES IVE EVER MADE IN MY LIFE!!! I MIGHT GO AND SEE IT
@nasolem youre forgetting that multiple competing companies exist. if intel do this and AMD also gain the ability to make graphene chips then they will easily outcompete intel.
2:54 ... this material and it's production should be open to anyone ... I hope some company can achieve this at low cost and open all the patents, like Tesla. Could be awesome if everyone can buy a 3d graphene printer and print the chips with the design they download from internet from an open source community ...
Very well made presentation, only some minor grammar errors and one funny "Title here" accident. But really, the whole presentation was super sleek. I appreaciate greatly when people link their sources, so thank you for that! You've gained a subscriber!
One of the major problems, using graphene (as well as normal carbon fibres) as a structural strengthener, is to adhere (glue) graphene to filling products, like resin. One method is: Subjecting the carbon (fibers or graphene) to vacuum deposition in a plasma atmosphere with a suitable monomer. It is cumbersome in its current development state, but could strengthen the bonds between graphene and filler and, thus make the end product a winner.
Graphene is an electrical and thermal conductor, not an insulator. You refer to it as an insulator a couple times then on the same slide call it a conductor. These are opposite terms and it can't simultaneously be both. Otherwise it's a great vid.
Sure it can be turned into an electrical insulator if you oxidize it to graphene oxide. But then it's not graphene anymore. It depends on what your definition of graphene is, and whether you are specifically talking about electrical or thermal conductivity. One material in a single state can't be both an electrical conductor and electrical insulator at the same time, you would have to do something to it change it from conductor to insulator and vise versa. This can be done if it's a semi conductor by applying a potential, as in transistors. However, a material can be an electrical insulator and a thermal conductor at the same time. Diamond is the best example of this.
Nice to hear you talk about the same problems encountered with silicon at the beginning. Just a matter of time before the tech works it out. Good vid, congrats.
The key takeaway here is this: All those universities and companies that are secretively working away at producing large scale graphene - their greed is delaying the development of this material. If they would collaborate, we'd have graphene much sooner.
I'm thinking, perhaps if you are prone to getting hit by lightning, a 100% graphene jacket could act as a Faraday cage and would protect from electrocution (but not so much from burn damage). On the other hand, it also could act as a lightning rod.
American multinational engineering company Aecom a few weeks ago revealed its lightweight simple-to-install 'CNCT arch' for use in tunnels, which it aims to deploy worldwide, and which will allow the delivery of superior mobile phone and internet signals to passengers and drivers on underground trains. Its strength and lightness is due to the use of graphene supplied by UK company Versarien.
Yes, please keep us informed. I scour the internet trying to find new things happening. I, for one, intend on being prepared to take advantage of new technologies in the years to come.
Have they thought of using graphene filter in kidney dialysis machines? I heard that it could reduce the suffering of the kidney patients on dialysis bye cutting short the time they get attached to the machine from 4 hours to a fraction of it. Hope fresenius kidney equipment manufacturers stand using graphene filters in their machines
I in fact was able to obtain a 1g sample of the carbon nanotube from TUBALL but you never want to open the container out in the open unless in protective gear and a well vented LAB
So the biggest apparent issue in supply and demand of graphene is that military need dictates the progress of new technologies. Sure, graphene can potentially revolutionize ballistic defense, but if you advance the technology too quickly it reduces the number of people they can shoot at. Getting too behind a technology like this is essentially the current military-industrial complex shooting themselves in the foot. Having just been introduced to the concept(maybe remember one or two introductions to graphene years ago) I see that the biggest deterrent to research progress is really convincing the powers that be that their greed is really holding the entire planet back from progressing in a way that we can begin to cohabitate peacefully and achieving a techno equilibrium with nature. Avarice is the folly of all progress
Walter Hailey, I have no doubt it went dark, after practical uses were possible. Another 20 years and we'll have what the military is using now...if the imminent world war doesn't get too out of hand and kill everyone.
Mr. popo, I used to think that, then I learned almost half the spec ops guys return for Afghanistan severely injured, so I now take a show me attitude, because that can't happen if the propaganda of their 30 years ahead was true. To me, given the intelligence and military was fully backing Hillary and she lost, that couldn't have happened, period, if their tech was as advertised. I think it's time to test the hype.
As mentioned in other comments, UK Graphene producer Versarien is to date the only verified producer of few-layer Graphene (FLG) at anything like commercial scale, with its products verified by the U.K. National Graphene Institute, the US Graphene Council and their equivalent agency in China. Besides the AECOM Graphene-enhanced lightweight subway arch and the Nanene-enabled headphones from Media Devil (fantastic quality and value, by the way, I listened to this video wearing mine), many of Versarien’s 38 current collaborations seem to be approaching fruition. The association with Beijing Institute of Graphene Technology (BIGT) which could see the latter taking up to 15% of the equity in AIM-listed Versarien (VRS) will hopefully be inked very shortly. A collaboration with a global garment manufacturer in association with several leading sports brands is trialling a second large batch of graphene enhanced fabric for smart sportswear which should have remarkable thermal properties as well as hosting flexible electronics; this comes from Versarien’s other subsidiary Cambridge Graphene Ltd, spun out from Cambridge University, using Graphinks, an ink solution containing Graphene. This video was excellent but already out of date because of the speed at which the development of Graphene has suddenly started to move
I enjoy your passion for Graphene and your videos are great! Can you please look into a company called ZEN Graphene and consider including their innovations in an upcoming video ... they recently announced a Graphene inhaler that kills viruses ... its opening up a whole new use case.
You can laser graphine onto any surface so you could literally build an entire circuit board on a piece of bread and run electronics with it... They are working out all the bugs
Zero- love your vids...see Veratasium video about cold welding. "Cold welding in Space" see 540min mark..gold nanowires...makes me think about graphene possible assembly.. Also Schunk Group has ultrasonic friction welding at room temp and pressures
Can't wait to have a computer that has over a thousand clockspeed, if that is feasible though. What video editing app do you use? Your transitions and animations are fascinating.
I also think it's really great that you add the sources. I'm supper interested in this stuff and love to do more research when I find interesting things, thank you.
I am a gunsmith, make mine graphene, wire it to my Infra red scope and lights. Nothing better than a Warm gun on a snowy day. The Hunt for more graphene
A guy at MIT figured out how to mass produce graphene about two weeks, with high quality and cost reduction from materials used. Everything's gonna change in the next couple of years.
Regarding companies selling graphene products... I think it's 99% a buzzword for marketing department and less to do with any real enhancement or improvements on their products. Add graphene flakes to a product -> create marketing campaign -> profit.
