Hailed as a miracle material, researchers have discovered the thinnest known anti-corrosive material.
The new material is so thin that one ounce of it could cover 28 football fields. Graphene is essentially a single layer of carbon atoms, the same type of material that can be found in pencils. Researchers found that coating copper with it they were able to reduce the level of corrosion of the metal by a factor of seven.In the study, Dhiraj Prasai and colleagues point out that rusting and other corrosion of metals is a serious global problem, and intense efforts are underway to find new ways to slow or prevent it. Corrosion results from contact of the metal's surface with air, water or other substances.
