Example Sentences
Recent Examples on the Web Back in 2014, researchers and engineers began looking at graphene as a way to make smartphones even thinner. 
Joshua Hawkins, BGR, 28 Aug. 2022 When graphene was developed in 2004, the scientists who isolated it earned a Nobel Prize, and the incredibly durable, super thin substance was heralded as world changing. Outside Online, 6 Mar. 2019 The graphene increases your skin temperature without leaving you hot and sweaty, resulting in superior thermoregulation. Outside Online, 9 Mar. 2022 One of the more recent efforts involved using graphene and molybdenum disulfide to make the transistor with the smallest gate length.
