Stress test reveals graphene won't crack under pressure

Phys.org   -   Scientific News Websites

Graphene is a paradox. It is the thinnest material known to science, yet also one of the strongest. Now, research from University of Toronto Engineering shows that graphene is also highly resistant to fatigue—able to withstand more than a billion ...
