Okay, we get it, graphene is amazing stuff. Really, we get the hint. It does wonderful stuff.
What's it doing today? Well, apparently it can help to soak up arsenic, sparking the notion that it could be used to purify water in areas where arsenic contamination is a real problem (including, apparently, some parts of the United States).
Some other amazing graphene stories? Sure, if you insist:
- Do-It-Yourself Graphene, June 2010
- Graphene: New Transistor Record, Feb. 2010
- Graphene Balloon Created, Aug. 2008
- Graphene: A Super-Speed Semiconductor, March 2008
- Graphene Nano-Transistor, Feb. 2007
For those who want the technical details, check out the paper "Water-Dispersible Magnetite-Reduced Graphene Oxide Composites for Arsenic Removal" in the journal ACS Nano.
