The question, scope, and sources behind this Registry record.
A nanoindentation experiment measured an intrinsic breaking strength near 130 GPa for defect-free monolayer graphene.
Track the highest measured intrinsic tensile strength of a defect-free monolayer graphene membrane under nanoindentation-derived conversion.
This record captures the measured mechanical ceiling of an idealized graphene sheet rather than the strength of ordinary bulk samples. The result is sensitive to defects, sample geometry, loading mode, and the distinction between intrinsic and engineering strength.
The strength of a single atomic layer of graphite — Intrinsic tensile strength of defect-free grapheneChange a parameter to stress-test whether a proposed result is still inside the published specification. This is an audit aid, not a proof checker.
Current frontiers derived from accepted Claims.
An observed or demonstrated result; no opposing bound is implied.
The frontier is not sacred
Most progress starts with a disagreement that survives contact with evidence. If you can push the known lower bound up or pull the upper bound down, show us the work.
≥ when you have shown that at least this value is achievable.≤ when you have shown that anything above this value is impossible.No vibes. State the value, define the scope, and link the paper, proof, code, or reproduction that lets another person check it. Editors review every challenge before the public record changes.

The frontier as it changed over time.
Only accepted Claims matching the current specification contribute to the displayed bounds. Strict inequalities remain open; contradictory Claims require editorial review.
