Graphene, a two-dimensional crystal of pure carbon, is a superlative material. It is the thinnest and strongest substance known to science – about 100 times stronger than steel by weight. A square metre of graphene, a thousand times thinner than paper, made into a hammock would be strong enough to cradle a 4kg cat, but weigh no more than one of its whiskers. It is a good conductor of electricity, is stretchable and yet is almost transparent. It conducts heat better than any other known substance. It acts as a barrier to the smallest atom of gas – helium – and yet allows water vapour to pass through.

The potential uses for graphene appear almost limitless. They range from new types of flexible electronics that could be worn on clothes or folded up into a pocket, to a new generation of very small computers, hyper-efficient solar panels and super-fast mobile phones. Yet at the heart of graphene is a honeycomb structure of carbon atoms – described as “atomic chickenwire”. Carbon is the basic element of life, which means that graphene could be the focus of a new industrial revolution based on electronic components that are biodegradable and sustainable. If there was ever a building material for a new, green economy, graphene could be it. ...
...they forgot to mention batteries/ultracapacitors made of that stuff. That would be huge. Again, the problem is, it only works as a proof of concept, on atomic scales, and only on some lab benches (if that, some of that stuff is still pure theory).
Check out Eestor as they have had patents for this technology for years. The energy complex will not let any of this technology reach the public as we must be kept paying for taxes on, and for the dollar through oil purchases.
This company was suppose to use the technology in cars years ago (research Zenn) but the tech got scooped up by lockheed Martin (to power exoskelital army stuff). Do some research and you will discover that any technology that may improve energy independence from oil will be motherfuckered until it's bankrupted, shot in the head and swept under a dusty rug.
Oil trumps everything else even though the tech is well over 100 years old, outdated and could be replaced into clean burning energies.
Problem is, the last time I looked, the Dollar isn't priced in Solar or Nuclear energy.:wave:
