Tony's memento to Cap

The lengthy quarantine has almost made us bored because of boredom. So, many of us opted to work to get rid of this monotony. But contrary to our feelings, our superheroes are an exception in this. Tony Stark has already made a handful of projects and inventions. So, he wanted to have a little sarcastic break. He decided to give a lovely cum memorable, present for Captain America to add more fun.

Our Captain was chilling at the pool after finishing 200 pull-ups when he got a call from the doorbell. There was a box wrapped in a red cover with a card carried the words, " To Cap ". At the rear side, it has been written as

"Made for the most courageous soldier with the strongest material by the most handsome man, LOL! And you know who I am!" 

Cap made a chuckling smile and took an intuitive look at the box. It had a round badge, painted with the well known Cap's symbol, that can be fixed in the suit, in a way to protect the heart. "Tony, you've got a point.", whispered Steve.

Do you get Steve's point? Let's dive into an amusing story to know what's behind this.

The world's strongest material is Graphene, made up of slender, thin sheets of carbon atoms.

Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov were once tried to separate the graphite into fine sheets. So to fulfill this intention, they chose a sticky tape. They laid the flakes of graphite over the surface and offered several pulls. This weird playful act lead them to discover a super material!

Structure of Graphene

In the end, they arrived at a very slim layer seen over the tape. To everyone's surprise, this made'em bag up the Nobel prize in physics, proving the fact that Graphene to be the strongest, the lightest and most electrically conductive substance on Earth. A Graphene sheet looks like a tiny honeycomb. The carbon atoms are arranged in a hexagonal pattern and each carbon atom in a sheet of graphene is covalently bonded to 3 other carbon atoms, which is the reason behind the strength.

Owing to this reason, Tony presented particularly a Graphene badge.

"Do you trust me?....", Tony left it with a question.

"I do", Cap answered himself.
