2018 will soon be over - and it was a good year for the graphene industry. Graphene-based products are entering the market, and new advances in many applications have been reported. It seems that graphene is finally starting to fulfill its promise.
Here are the top 10 stories posted on Graphene-Info in 2018, ranked by popularity (i.e. how many people read the story):

In previous years we've seen that most of our popular stories involved energy applications. In 2018, however, we see a wide range of graphene applications: composites, sports equipment, thermal applications, audio - and of course energy applications.
We hope that 2019 will offer continued growth, more applications and increased adoption of graphene in a wider range of industries.
