Graphene 

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a flat, atomic-scale, hexagonal lattice in which one atom forms each vertex. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule.

Graphene has many interesting properties. It is about 200 times stronger than steel by weight, conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency and is nearly transparent.

Scientists have theorized about graphene for decades. It is quite likely that graphene was unwittingly produced in small quantities for centuries through the use of pencils and other similar applications of graphite, but it was first measurably produced and isolated in the lab in 2003. Research was informed by existing theoretical descriptions of its composition, structure and properties. High-quality graphene proved to be surprisingly easy to isolate, making more research possible.

Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene."

The global market for graphene is reported to have reached $9 million by 2014 with most sales in the semiconductor, electronics, battery energy and composites industries.
Potential graphene applications include lightweight, thin, flexible, yet durable display screens, electric circuits and solar cells, as well as various medical, chemical and industrial processes enhanced or enabled by the use of new graphene materials.

Graphene 

In simple terms graphene is a sheet of a single layer (monolayer) of carbon atoms, tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice. In more complex terms, graphene is an allotrope of carbon in the form of a plane of sp2-bonded atoms with a molecular bond length of 0.142 nanometres.

graphene oxide 

An engineered nanofoil, the thinnest substance known to science. Forms electrically conductive mobile conduits when exposed to EMF, most notably 5G. Excessively durable owing to the same physical property that enables it to transit the blood-brain barrier and cell nuclei: a thickness of one (1) molecule. Reputedly hostile to biological systems from which, once introduced, is virtually impossible to flush. Said by many to be the primary ingredient in your CoV-2 shot.
300 million sheep: reuters says there's 'no evidence' of graphene oxide in the jab.

me: that's funny, the company that makes the 'vax is bragging about it on their website

Graphedelia 

An art style and movement popularised by artist Vinni Kiniki known for having strong visual and cultural roots to psychedlic and graffiti culture...

Graphedelic 

Graphedelic artwork can be described as being hippy (ideologically) and trippy (visually) in nature and / or holds reference to a visual hallucination which could be the source of inspiration for such work as is with a lot of psychedelic imagery, the promotion of altered states of mind is encouraged. Imagery such as magic mushrooms, Ganja or acid tabs are amongst the visual references that pop up in said works. Artwork that embraces the aesthetic has been present in some shape or form since the early 90’s but lacked true definition till its original definition in the early 00’s

Although strongly rooted in graffiti it is not a variation or style of graffiti as it is legitimate whether it has been created illegally on the street or within the confines of an art gallery.
Hippy: Yo man did you see that new psychedelic piece on the wall under the bridge...it's totally far out...
Graff artist: Your trippin, that be some straight up wild-style graffiti
Graphedelic : Well actually you're both kinda right, i'd say that a prime example of some graphedelic shit!!

GrapheneML

GrapheneML (noun): A novel approach to manufacturing graphene transistors that leverages the power of machine learning algorithms to identify and compensate for imperfections in the manufacturing process, resulting in more reliable and high-performance computing systems.
The cutting-edge computer chip design leveraged GrapheneML to optimize the manufacturing of graphene transistors, resulting in faster and more energy-efficient computing.

Can also be used to gross out Non-Techie people
A)
Bill: want to go to the club?
Bob: No, I've got to clean out my board chow, keys are starting to stick.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
