Science

To us, graphite is more than a crystalline form of carbon with hexagonally arranged atoms – it's the mineral around which we have innovated for the past 140 years. Graphite is a key ingredient and functional component in many products – from communications to energy, consumer electronics to transportation, and beyond. It's the reason why some of today's most technologically advanced products are successful and work the way they do.
