Graphene Made To Generate Power and May Replace Batteries

October 6, 2020 | Leave a Comment

University of Arkansas physicists have successfully generated an electrical current from the atomic motion of graphene, discovering a new source of clean, limitless power. Paul Thibado, professor of physics and lead researcher in the discovery said, “An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for […]
