Silicon is a chemical element with an atomic mass of 14 that occurs in crystal or amorphous form. It is a semiconductor used in electronic chips, solar cells, and other technologies due to its strength, thermal conductivity, and elasticity. Graphene is an allotrope of carbon consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice. It was discovered in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, who won the Nobel Prize. Graphene has unique properties including high strength, thermal and electrical conductivity, and transparency. Potential uses include shielding, electronics, vehicles, and information technologies.
