Its existence is a bit of quandary, however, as graphene is essentially a two-dimensional material that shouldn't exist. But thanks to a loophole, namely that the carbon atoms that make up graphene are fluctuating, it is able to exist. This is known as Brownian motion.

In this research, published in Physical Review Letters, Paul Thibado from the University of Arkansas and his students observed the movement of graphene under a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). At incredibly small scales, they found there was not only Brownian motion but also larger movements of the graphene sheet itself, with the atoms moving together.

In a video, Thibado explained how this motion could be used to replace batteries that we use today. Creating something called the Vibration Energy Harvester (VEH), he showed how a negatively charged sheet of graphene between two electrodes could produce an alternating current.



Remember how fragile graphene is, like ceramic.

shape reserves function. Charge creates field(potential).

Graphene is severely into bondage. ;)

I remember graphene was very touted.




They must of found some secret functions they are wary of lol
