Huawei P40 Pro may feature 5,500mAh, #graphene battery with 50W fast charging
We are finally in the graphene age!
While production methods are improving, large scale, environmentally sound synthesis of graphene is not yet in full swing. According to the #Graphene Flagship, a European project dedicated to graphene, several products should be commercially available in another 10 or 15 years. Much remains to be seen.

Carbon nanotube - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube
The shortest carbon nanotube can be considered to be the organic compound cycloparaphenylene, which was synthesized in 2008 by Ramesh Jasti.[21] Other small molecule carbon nanotubes have been synthesized since.[22]
Cycloparaphenylene - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloparaphenylene
In 1934 by V. C. Parekh and P. C. Guha described the first published attempt to synthesize a cycloparaphenylene, specifically [2]CPP. They connected two aromatic rings with a sulfide bridge, and hoped that removal of the latter would yield the desired compound. However, the attempt failed as the compound would have been far too strained to exist under anything but extreme conditions.[3]
New, non-invasive blood sugar testing methods using saliva
https://phys.org/news/2021-10-non-invasive-blood-sugar-methods-saliva.html
Gao's prototype saliva sensor uses copper nanomaterials which are anchored on a base strip made of graphene sheet. Graphene is an inexpensive carbon material that generally does not react with other compounds. "Graphene strips are thin and flexible just like paper, so you can deposit the materials on the top and it's still flexible," says Gao. "It's a promising substrate in biosensors."
