Graphene: Future Generation’s Top-Class Bullet-Proof Material

November 29, 2014 By Cliff Jenkins Scott

Graphene-Next-Generation-Bulletproof-Material

According to the recent reports, US specialists exposed utilizing a minute shooting range that Graphene — a multi-layered material with a 10 to 100 nanometer thickness, may be a top-class bullet-proof material, since it appears to assimilate and diffuse 10 times more energy than steel or polyamide.

Graphene was licensed in 2014 and it is a very thin carbon sheet, so thin that it just has 2-dimensions, however can hold weights 100 times heavier than steel. Also, Graphene act as an incredible conductor for electricity and heat.

Specialists also admire this material for being tremendously sturdy and rigid because of its 2-D structure. Some analysts said that graphene is strong on a genuine scale it could hold the power of an elephant that is adjusting on a pencil.

Right up ’till today, graphene hasn’t been tested for intense conditions, for example, withstanding the pace of a bullet. Jae-Hwang Lee, professor at the University of Massachusetts said his group was the first to test graphene under pace contrasted with the genuine bullet speed. He further clarified, scientists couldn’t utilize conventional techniques, for example, genuine guns as graphene has such a tiny scale, Instead the group utilized a laser to help a silica micro-bullet to hasten towards a patch of graphene material.

Certainly, the micro-bullet hit different graphene sheets at a supersonic rate (up to 2000m/hour) with the help of the laser.

A British researcher at the National Center for Matter under Extreme Conditions said that the US specialists had the capacity to show standard ballistics configuration utility on a minute scale, which was an extremely energizing investigation.

The graphene multilayered material had the capacity to soak up around 0.90 MJ of ballistic energy/kilo and has splits rising over the impact range. Steel made materials have the capacity to soak up just 0.08 MJ/kilo at the same bullet speed.

Edwin Thomas, US research group member and Engineering Dean at Rice University, said that graphene is as excellent as the amount of energy it absorbs. He further added that the entire trap was to get the same number of splits on the affected material as you can since numerous breaks are related to an enhanced limit of spreading the impact into more material, much the same as a tempered safety glass does. Safety glass is intended to spread the energy of impact and placed it at any point.

The researchers also compared graphene’s rigidity and potency to materials developed to stop projectiles. Presently, engineers’ primary goal is to make graphene on a scale that it can be utilized as a part of large scale manufacturing so graphene could be the cutting edge bulletproof material.

Like every year, Salesforce is all set to throw its Dreamforce events in San Francisco with great zest and zeal. The event is considered to be the largest global software event arranged every year. Salesforce expect there will be around 135,000 people landing in Moscone Convention Centre for the event. Moreover 3 million people are expected to participate in the event online. Among these 135,000 attendees, 25,000 would be the competent participating in Hackathon.

The Hackathon will begin on October 13th, 2014 sharp at 6 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday, and will continue throughout the weekend till noon Sunday. It has mobile apps development competitions for 3 different categories for which it has offered grand prizes for the winners. The categories are Force.com mobile apps, Heroku mobile apps, and Force.com with Heroku mobile apps. Teams holding first position will receive cash prize of $100,000. Moreover winner teams from all the 3 categories will be awarded $150,000 grand prize each.

Salesforce has been organizing the Dreamforce events for straight twelve years. This year it has been deciphered as the world largest software event ever. Moreover Salesforce has decided to make efforts to take the event on charitable grounds as well. The cloud computing company is making Dreamforce to encourage people to teach programming to children, collecting meals to feed people. Their efforts also include initiatives to help the experienced military persons to comeback to civilian life after passing out from military.

It is something like a hot cup of tea for the cloud software vendor. It is encouraging the development of apps for wearable tech like smart watches etc. Like previous years a large number of keynote speakers will draw the attention towards the ways the technology will encounter from the business world in future.

Among the many speakers who will grace the stage. Few noteworthy speakers include Benioff- CEO of Dreamforce, musicians Neil Young and Will.I.Am, author and motivational speaker Anthony Robins, former VP Al Gore and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Moreover Code.org co-founder and angel investor Hadi Partovi will also be present. Furthermore industry giants such as Microsoft Windows marketing corporate VP Tony Prophet and Yelp chief executive Jeremy Stoppelman will also grace the occasion.

This year, hot Canadian wearable’s firms Thalmic Labs and Bionym will showcase their wearable wares on the show floor and Will.I.Am will also launch a new device in their speech at the event.

Previously there were two show floors at Dreamforce one was in Moscone West and the other in Moscone North. Moreover there will also be a special Industry Showcase in the Moscone South i.e. Gateway area this year. The convention is all in one package packed having premium networking opportunities for vendors.

As per the statement of Marc Benioff, the chairman and chief executive officer of Salesforce “Dreamforce 2014 will focus on how mobile technologies, cloud-based computing, and social connectivity are set to develop over the future and how companies are leveraging these new technologies to forge new and better connections with their customers”.
