Why it matters
Its extraordinary properties promise advances in electronics, sensors, composites, energy storage, and filtration, and it anchors a whole family of 2-D materials.
Where it stands
Graphene is produced commercially for coatings, composites, and sensors, but high-quality, large-area, affordable sheets for electronics remain difficult.
How ASIZ approaches it
The discovery loop, applied.
Through the Matter & Materials center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at graphene: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
