Samsung claims a graphene breakthough

Graphene is one of the recent super material found by scotch tape and pencil lead. It is way more stronger than steel, flexible and highly conductive. The conductivity was so good that researchers need to use E=MC^2 to understand the property of it.

Because of it's useful properties, researchers took interest as well as big corporations. Up until recent years, producing graphene was a big of a hassle and every unprofitable making them.

A research facility own by Samsung discover a way to produce graphene is a cheaper way using germanium, hydrogen and water to produce high quality, single layer graphene, this is very exciting discovery because many more technology can be mass produce and commercially available for many users based on the single layer graphene.

IBM have shown the potential of the graphene based processor, it was not perfect, but it have shown the effectiveness of it.
