http://www.cos.ucf.edu/dss/rsvp/This presentation will describe the special properties of graphene and illustrate some of the diverse emerging applications, from touch-screen displays to high-speed transistors. Graphene is confirmed as the world’s strongest and lightest known material. Graphene is the nanomaterial of the moment and has amazing properties. It’s the strongest, thinnest, stiffest, and most conductive substance known to date. In addition, recently discovered materials exhibiting characteristics quite different from graphene will be presented. These materials have the ability to function as electrical insulators and to emit light efficiently, but they retain the strength and flexibility of graphene. Tony F. Heinz is the David Ricky Professor in the Department of Physics and Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. Heinz received his PhD degree in Physics from the University of California at Berkely in 1982. Heinz was at IBM Research Division in Yorktown Heights, NY, until he joined Columbia University in 1995.
