Potential of Graphene Becomes Obscene

Nobel Laureate and co-author of the paper Professor Andre Geim added: "I
wonder how many more surprises graphene keeps in store. This one has come out of
the blue. We have to wait and see for a few years but the switchable magnetism
may lead to an impact exceeding most optimistic expectations."

Whatever can he mean.......

Thanks for posting that.

I was taking a long hard look at graphene several months back. It is the next gen tech. And this is just another notch on the board for graphene.

If you look hard enough, there are a few ways out there to make your own graphene to experiment with. It would be good for all to take a serious look at these early stages of what it can do and how, cuz 'this' is 'it' when it comes to the future of electronics, let alone coatings, graphene fiber(like carbon fiber only stronger) etc.

You bet....

And the fact that it's the world's best conductor at this time, coupled with it's magnetic properties, seems to indicate possibly astronomic gains in solid state power generation.

It's strength to weight ratio, power generation and storage capabilities, and cheap material cost and production all point to a veritable explosion in aerial vehicle possibilities alone.

And as 3D printing gets into greater accuracy and detail, it will be the end of 'life as we know it'. Liquid dude from Terminator. lol  Isnt it funny how ideas of things that seem incredible and even impossible, and its put into a book or a movie and years later weve gottum on our key chains. Laser guns in scifi books, magazines and films many years before it was able to actually exist. Well, I could name quite a few movies and books that I wish were never imagined and written.  It was said by someone some years ago, that we are at a point where just about anything we can imagine can be done, but much we cannot do due to lack of enough money.

Mags and TS:

You guys are right.  Graphene is the future.

Check out this fellow's youtube channel:

Robert Murray Smith.  He has many, many videos on how to make graphene and supercaps, etc.  It does not look all that hard.  I know next to nothing about chemistry.
