Description: Discussion surrounding the latest news stories and interesting papers involving the cutting edge of Graphene research.
Graphene - a substance composed of pure carbon, with atoms arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern similar to graphite, but in a one-atom thick sheet. It is very light, with a 1-square-meter sheet weighing only 0.77 milligrams. It is an allotrope of carbon whose structure is a single planar sheet of sp2-bonded carbon atoms, that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice. The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm, who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962. Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or 'flake' form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.

I am looking into doing some experiments with graphene, but I can't find anything though my college (well nothing they're telling me about). I was hoping someone here might know where I can find some at a reasonable price? I want minimal thickness, but its not a hard number, preferably <100 (Mu)m, ~5 sheets, and 25+ cm^2.
PS sorry if I sound like some annoying customer, I just didn't know where to ask 😅
These are system logs from a brand new install on a pixel pro7. The same Despicable people got in my other pixel pro6 but it took them about a month. I could tell aside from the logs due to the battery and cameras being altered. Please Help the community by putting some focus on this. And let me know if there is some better more Secure option as I need a phone that's gov / state sanctioned proof. I can't be sure they don't have physical access to it though. Sadly that's likely the case.
Someone that knows graphene OS dev and android hopefully can analyze them better. I see a lot of hiding of windows. Background processes, remote proxy's listening. Etc in the logs..likely a qemu virtualized node running in background allowing full access. Possibly the initial access came via Bluetooth. Let me know how I can share the logs. Its about 4.5mb
Hi r/graphene, I have an inquiry for your educated minds.
Recently I went through an intensely stressful situation in my life where my memory foam mattress released fiberglass throughout my home. (This seems to be happening a lot these days)
The cleanup has been long and arduous, it has left me exhausted, especially now having been sleeping on an air bed.
A kind soul close to me has blessed me with a new bed which is supposedly fiberglass free and fully Certi-pur and OEKO TEX certified..
However when it arrived I noticed that the box states that it is using "Graphene Technology". This sounds very gimmicky and like a marketing ploy, however I've heard a lot about graphene so I started searching.
I've come across the HILU blanket, various posts about coats, mentions of GO vs rGo, Pristine, "powder" impregnated into plastics at 1%~ that are then spun into fabrics... etc etc
I just have one question, and that is: Is this thing SAFE to sleep on??
After this fiberglass fiasco I am terrified by the prospect of some dangerous material degrading and slowly poisoning me in my sleep. All this talk of high-aspect ratio nano particles and all else is quite honestly over my head! This shit is far beyond my pay-grade and the entire thing is making me just want to send the bed back!
It is supposedly made in USA but who the heck knows about Amazon products these days. The bed claims the graphene is in the mattress cover only. Comments say this cover is slippery which sounds consistent with the blanket and other products I've been reading about.
I don't know whether to just pull this cover off in favor of a cotton one immediately after I open it, send the whole thing back in exchange for some other mystery box from our Amzn overlords, or freak out and just burn the entire place down before I run off into the wilderness screaming. 🙃 Pardon me as clearly the stress has been taking its toll.
For real though, what would you do? Is this thing a real potential hazard? Is having it on the bed even temporarily in storage and shipping going to result in the foam absorbing graphene particles that will slowly murder me?
Please help before I pull my hair out 😅

hi - a computational lithographer here; I wonder how graphene electronics are plan to be scale up in VLSI scheme of things ? Is there a SPICE models for graphene ? Is there some kind photonics / electronics design tool that accepts Graphene ?
Thanks
Hey folks, I just joined this sub and I hope I can find some answers about electrical conductivity. Like using graphene (by itself or mixed with other materials) as interconnection for microelectronic applications, just like the conductive tracks in a PCB for example.
Appreciate the help!
Hello, I am interested in going back to school to learn the production of Graphene. I am seeking advice on which Graphene conference to attend should I go to Graphene Flagship Week in Prague or the Graphene Conference in Madrid?
Is it possible to layup CFRP on Pyrolytic Graphite sheets? The idea is to stack up layers of pyrolytic graphite sheets on an Invar tool and on top of these graphite sheets, CFRP layup to be done. Pyrolytic graphite sheet is chosen for it’s low CTE. Need your feedback, thank you!
Hey are there any good ideas out their for a high school science fair project that involves graphene?
So I've been trying to replicate the method on this paper https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.5b04258 for my work, but I can't seem to make the flakes larger than around 10um in size. Has anyone had any luck with this? Do you have some suggestions? Thanks!

I am looking for partners to research and produce products related to Graphene. We have produced graphene conductive ink and graphene powder with high porosity. However, it is very difficult to find. Can you help me?
I have been thinking about making some homemade graphene. Does graphite in a blender with dish soap actually work? Or is it just another internet hoax?
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has experience with transferring mechanically exfoliated graphene on a densely patterned silicon oxide die? I haven't been getting great yield and it is frustrating. I clean the dies with IPA and acetone, then oxygen plasma, then do my transfer. If anyone has some suggestions for increasing the yield.

Hello
TL/DR : Does anyone have a good demo code or blog post showing gathering metrics from Django Graphene GQL queries to Prometheus?
Longer:
We have a Django Graphene app working, and are gather Prometheus telemetry to monitor our end points. We are leveraging the Django Prometheus Middle Ware and are able to get telemetry and view it via Grafana. This all works and is awesome.
However, we want to be able to add telemetry to our Graphene GraphQL resolvers and object serialization/deserialization. Right now with Django Prometheus we get a single end point for *all of* our graphql calls, which isn't helpful as we are heavily leaning on GQL for client queries, and the metrics don't provide any insight on which resolvers are slow, or what queries are doing on the back end.
We found Graphene-Prometheus middleware which claims to support Django, but it is out of date, doesn't run on Django 3.x, and we could not get it working.
Any pointers appreciated. Thank you.
Hi, I struggle to understand is there a difference between pure graphene (flash graphene) and graphene oxide. As I can see GO is more available. Also many composites researches using GO instead of pure graphene. Is there any difference between them? Do composites with GO and pure graphene have different properties and how big is the difference?
Another question - as I can see in many many researches they use 0.1%-1% of graphene. What if we use 5-10-20% will mechanical properties increase as well or not? Is it about expensiveness of graphene or problems of dispersion of bigger amount of graphene? Or something else?
