STORY AT-A-GLANCE
- Graphene is a material that consists of a single layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a repeating pattern of hexagons
- According to scientists, it has “miraculous” properties in terms of strength, elasticity, thermal and electrical conductivity
- The testing of graphene-derived materials for toxicity has been very limited, and even the limited testing has shown a wide range of potential harms — yet graphene materials are being broadly introduced into different industries and aspects of our lives, from biosensors to conductive surfaces to batteries and face masks
