Freezing Graphene for 3D Printing

Graphene, which was discovered in 2004, is 1 million times thinner than a human hair, 300 times stronger than steel, and is the best known conductor of heat and electricity. Researchers at the University of Buffalo (UB), along with colleagues at Kansas State University and the Harbin Institute of Technology in China, say that these qualities could be used to improve medical diagnostic devices, make computers faster, and batteries more powerful, among other things. But, they say that the material is very light and difficult to manipulate beyond its two-dimensional form.
