We are using many implants as in orthopedic for bony pathology, cardiac, dental etc if these are infected then they will be rejected by the body. At just one atom thick, graphene is the thinnest material known to man. Due to its high conductibility, graphene could be used in various electronic devices such as phone screens and chargers. New research adds to the list of uses for the material, as a thin layer of graphene is found to have an antibacterial effect.
Graphene (shown here) is the world's thinnest material. Graphene was found in 2002, when an expert in microscopically thin materials decided to experiment with very thin layers of carbon. The resulting "supermaterial" is now known as one of the world's strongest materials — in fact, it is 200 times stronger than steel — as well as the thinnest. Made either of flakes or films, graphene is more electrically conductive than copper.…
