Could graphene be the future of concrete?

Graphene was discovered by researchers at the University of Manchester in 2004, a super-strong material that is just one atom thick. Its strength and thermal conductivity mean that its potential applications seem almost endless, with applications in electronics, composites and coatings, biomedicine, energy and sensors to name but a few. But there are many versions of graphene, explains Hodge, which are made from a variety of sources including waste materials such as methane and plastic.
