Graphene is a material derived from carbon and it has unique physicochemical properties. Graphene is formed where graphite is taken and atom thick layers are sliced away. The material has application for microbiology, as Tim Sandle covers in a new article.
Graphene is the most widely researched new
material. It is an allotrope of carbon and due to special properties the
material is being tested out within the fields of consumer and medicinal
electronics. While these applications have received considerable attention
developments relating to microbiology are taking place. This short review
article considers bacterial staining and anti-bacterial activity, as two of the
most promising future developments.
