Lightness, flexibility and durability are some of graphene's crucial characteristics. The material can revolutionize the tech industry and the Korean tech giant has made the greatest strides in facilitating its use. Although implementation in any soon-to-come gadgets its doubtful, in the near future users will sport smart watches, smart phones and other devices made with the miracle crystals.

Graphene possesses the potential to produce devices unlike anything seen before and Samsung will have first dibs in creating them. It is ultra-thin and bendable, yet it does not lose its strength, making it appealing for making technological devices, according to the Wall Street Journal. However, one of the material's greatest advantages is its ability to conduct electricity and heat extremely well.

On Friday, researchers funded by Samsung published their findings on the academic journal Science. They discovered a way to synthesize the material and allow for a single crystal to retail its electrical and mechanical properties across a larger area. The Wall Street Journal notes that previous attempts to create large graphene screens required the fusion of various crystals, disrupting its electric conductivity.

According to Mashable, scientists have been researching graphene's capabilities and potential uses since 2004 but researchers at Samsung's Advanced Institute of Technology and Sungkyunkwan University in South Korea discovered the new method.

"The new method ... synthesizes large-area graphene into a single crystal on a semiconductor, maintaining its electric and mechanical properties," Samsung wrote. It "repeatedly synthesizes single crystal graphene on the current semiconductor wafer scale."

Whether Samsung will share or protect its new discovery remains uncertain. Yet, the new material does possess some limitations, aside from the outstanding production costs. According to Mashable, graphene lacks an "energy gap," which means it can never be truly shut off due to high conductibility. Though some propose chemically altering the crystals, it still requires more research, but a great leap forward has been made and soon gadgets will be using this new material.
