Graphene Jacket. Part jacket. Part science experiment. Made with the only material in the world with a Nobel Prize. | Vollebak
Look for this material in the coming years in more clothing and other consumer goods. Say, boot soles.
... a customer in the Gobi Desert wrapped the jacket around his camel; once it warmed up, "he put the jacket back on and was warm for the night
By now you've probably heard of the coming graphene revolution. Perhaps it was in 2004, when a team of scientists at the University of Manchester in England announced they'd isolated a carbon-based supermaterial just one atom thick but more than 160 times stronger than steel. It could pass electrical signals 250 times faster than silicon and conduct heat 10 times more efficiently than copper.
Or maybe you heard about it in 2010, when the same team won a Nobel Prize in Physics "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material." Since then, businesses worldwide have salivatedover graphene's technical and commercial possibilities, but barriers—including scale, quality control, and cost—have delayed those promises until now.
