Graphene Lattice Simulator

Interactive 3D honeycomb carbon lattice: watch delocalized electrons drift through the sheet under an electric field, introduce vacancy defects that scatter them, and stretch the lattice to see where sp2 C-C bonds start to fail.

Graphene is a single sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb, and that one geometric fact is responsible for two very different superlatives: it is one of the best electrical conductors known and one of the strongest materials ever measured. This simulation renders an actual honeycomb lattice and lets you drive its electrical and mechanical behaviour separately — push an electric field through delocalized electrons, introduce vacancy defects that scatter them, then stretch the sheet under tension to see exactly where and why the carbon-carbon bonds start to fail.

⚙ Under the hood

Interactive 3D honeycomb carbon lattice: drive delocalized electrons through the sheet with an electric field, introduce vacancy defects that scatter them and weaken nearby bonds, and stretch the lattice under tension to see exactly where the carbon-carbon bonds start to fail.
