The material graphene, similar to graphite, consists of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, which makes it extremely strong, yet lightweight and flexible. There is intense research on various applications for the material, for example at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg
The Graphene Flagship is coordinated by Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is EU’s biggest ever research initiative and is tasked with bringing together academic and industrial researchers to take graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society. The picture is from a lab at Chalmers where they are trying to blend graphene with plastics. Note: the Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 was awarded jointly to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov ‘for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene.’

FÖRETAGET DU BESÖKER ÅTERPLANTERAR TRÄD.
Eftersom vi är en del av problemet ska vi även vara en del av lösningen, därför planterar vi ett träd i månaden genom Stockholm C och Vi-skogen. När skogen växer renar den luften.
Vår vision är att bidra till att begränsa uppvärmningen till under 2 grader.
