Imagine a material so infinitesimally thin, composed of a mere single carbon atom in thickness \u2014 more of a suggestion of matter than anything perceptively solid. When seen under a microscope, this nearly \u201cnothing there\u201d material reveals itself as a tightly bound lattice of linked hexagons of carbon atoms, forming a two-dimensional honeycomb plane that looks remarkably like the world\u2019s smallest chain link fence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet this microscopic geometric gossamer gives the unique material a tensile strength many times stronger than steel while affording it surprising flexibility. It’s also extremely lightweight. If that wasn\u2019t all wondrous enough, the magic material is also transparent and conductive electrically and thermally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This novel combination of properties makes graphene seem like the stuff of science fiction. In reality, however, it’s on the cusp of transforming numerous industries, including applications in the biomedical industry, energy technologies, sporting goods design, water purification solutions, and in the case of Ora Graphene Audio<\/a>, revolutionizing audio products.<\/p>\n\n\n

The \u201csecret sauce\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n

Graphene audio loudspeakers and headphones are already touted for their distortion-free performance and efficiency. They’re typically marketed toward first-adopter audiophiles, but Ora Graphene Audio co-founder and VP of Business Development Ari Pinkas, alongside Engineering Manager Felix Cournoyer, warns these products typically contain insignificant amounts of the material to benefit in performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou have to be careful about any graphene speaker marketed today,\u201d says Pinkas, \u201cWhen we looked closer at these products, we noticed they were just applying a graphene coating<\/em> onto the surface of an old existing paper driver.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
