6Phene Inc — Advanced Graphene Technology
6Phene Inc engineers laser-induced graphene composites for ballistic protection, high-performance sports equipment, and aerospace structural systems. Our proprietary R2R LIG process makes commercial-scale graphene a reality.
All specifications are R&D targets. Products not yet commercially available.
The Problem
Graphene has been called a wonder material for 20 years. So why is nobody using it?
Because making it at scale has been impossibly expensive. CVD graphene costs thousands per square meter. We changed that with laser-induced graphene on a roll-to-roll production line, dropping costs by 10-40x while maintaining quality.

Our Story
The Graphene Revolution
From atomic precision to industrial scale. We are 6Phene Inc.
The Material
What is it?
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice. It is the basic building block for other graphite materials but possesses miraculous properties on its own.
Why does it matter?
It is the strongest material ever tested (200x stronger than steel), the best conductor of heat and electricity, and nearly transparent. It has the potential to revolutionize batteries, computing, and construction.
When was it found?
While theorized for decades, it was first isolated in 2004 at the University of Manchester, earning Geim and Novoselov the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010.
