Researchers Create Complex 3D Structure Made of Graphene Aerogel

Ever since its discovery in 2004 graphene has been considered a wonder material, and researchers have great expectations for it. The material is 300 times stronger than steel, and a million times thinner than a human hair. It is also the world’s best conductor of electricity and heat. These features can positively impact many applications, such as making more powerful batteries, more efficient solar panels, and faster computers. Although, it is tough to manipulate graphene beyond it's two-dimensional form.

Graphene Oxide Could Help Fight Hospital-Acquired Infections

Recent research on graphene oxide may enhance our ability to fight infections acquired from hospitals and other places. Researchers from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Rome are analyzing graphene oxide in the hope of successfully developing bacteria-killing medical devices and catheters in the near future. Bacteria can be killed by coating all surgical equipment with the carbon-based compounsd. This will result in faster recovery times, reducing the number of post-operative infections, and reducing the requirement for antibiotics.
