Grafeno: Ciencia y sociedad en la era de los materiales del futuro
Keywords:

Graphene, a layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern, is an extremely thin, strong
material and an excellent conductor of electricity and heat. These properties position it as a promising component
for various industries, from electronics to renewable energy, which has driven notable investment in
research and development. However, its production in large sheets remains complex and expensive, limiting
its commercial application. Furthermore, the advance in graphene has generated debates about inequality
in access to new technologies, as only some countries and corporations have the resources to research and
develop practical applications, creating a technological gap.
