An amazing material doesn't do it justice! There is going to be a technology revolution around the stuff. Sad part is the us of a isn't looking into it at all way behind technology advancement as usual / sigh.. mark my words this stuff is going to revolutionize how we do things in the electronic world and technology and best part is we have yet to scratch the surface on what it can do

And I could post countless more but I'll just stick with 2 for now

Just think what computers could do with a grapheme based CPU!!

They are working ar it!
David Pogue takes NOVA viewers to an even smaller world in "Making Stuff: Smaller," examining the latest in high-powered nano-circuits and micro-robots that may one day hold the key to saving lives.

The other programs in the "Making Stuff" series are "Stronger," "Cleaner," and "Smarter."

I found Graphene very useful in the mid 1990's when fixing broken television remotes. I reasoned due to the conductive properties that it was possible to use a pencil to rub in a cracked circuit board and then tape over the top to generate a temporary fix. It wouldn't be good at high voltages but was good enough to keep the remote ticking over when it got broke.

(I guess that's why Astronaut's shouldn't leave earth without a pencil and some tape)

First, there's no good way to invest in graphene - or the graphite carbon it's made from - as a commodity.

That's because China controls roughly 70% of the market, much as it dominates more than 95% of the world's "rare earths" market, and Beijing is both limiting exports and charging a 20% export duty on graphene. That's one reason its price has more than tripled in the past five years.

Seems China is way ahead of us in planning for the future.

It gets wilder.

DAVID POGUE: Graphene promises to make the impossible possible, letting electrons move across its surface at virtually the speed of light and generating almost no heat. In fact, graphene is such a revolutionary material that in 2010, a mere six years after its discovery, the two Russian scientists who first made it received the Nobel Prize in Physics.

does that mean protein based computers (lots of carbon) and graphene as connecting structure and substrate is the way to super computers?
 
This is a game changer. It changes medicine, computers, construction, etc. Now all we got to do is make it.
 
I am setting up a high level research institute. I plan to add this as a part of research and development.....thank you.
 
The biggest challenge in bringing graphene into fruition is the production process. From what I've read Samsung is investing heavily into creating something that's more efficient than applying sticky tape to graphite. I've also read about something similar to graphene called Stanene which is suppose to have 100% electrical conductivity.
