I hear about it all the time: planned obsolescence. People can't believe that their computer parts are already breaking and their iPhone started to slow down just days before the next generation of the phone was released. Your TV seems to be programmed to have bugs whenever the manufacturing company wants to push a new product. Companies break their own products to get you to buy more of the same product: light bulbs, phones, batteries, cars, microwaves, computer screens, and even your car key transponder will all stop operating eventually. Either the marketing team or the designers wanted it that way, right?

Graphene, a sheet of carbon atoms that is only one atom thick, could change the future of electronics. It's much more energy efficient than silicon and dissipates heat faster as well. There's evidence that graphene works even better when it's combined with other polymers, too, making its potential applications innumerable.
