This article reflects on graphene’s journey since its discovery in 2004. Initially hyped for its unique properties—high electrical conductivity, strength, and heat resistance—its real-world applications took longer to materialize due to challenges in production and integration into devices. Over the past two decades, advancements in manufacturing, like chemical vapor deposition and innovative forms such as graphene oxide, have enabled graphene’s use in electronics, sensors, concrete, and more. Although graphene hasn’t fully replaced silicon or revolutionized industries, its diverse applications continue to grow, proving its lasting value in various fields.
