Scientists cook up material, #Graphene, 200 times stronger than steel out of soybean oil
To produce the #Graphene, soybean oil is heated in a tube furnace for about 30 minutes where it decomposes into #Carbon building blocks on a foil made of #Nickel.
It is then rapidly cooled and diffuses on the surface of the foil into a thin rectangle of graphene film, about five centimetres by two centimetres and one nanometre thick (about 80,000 times thinner than a human hair).
