Graphene is one of the most significant technological breakthroughs in the past 18 years, and it has the potential to greatly impact how the U.S. Army fights in multidomain operations.
Graphene is a material with electronic qualities similar to those of a diamond, in which carbon atoms are stacked in layers, an atom thick, on top of each other.
The Army could see three distinct benefits from graphene. First, graphene can significantly improve body armor. Second, graphene could dramatically enhance the Army’s ability to generate power. Third, graphene filters could provide the Army with...
