Praise Graphene: Graphene Is Strongest Material in the World even with Defects - Polidicks

Think of the implications of graphene for more than just armor. I think it would work really well in heat exchangers, mainly due to it's incredible thermal conductivity, there's a video on the internet of a guy cutting an ice cube with a piece of pyrolytic carbon, which has a high percentage of graphene in it, with the heat of his fingertips.

Space elevator now please.

[QUOTE=Lambadvanced;40870938]Well I'm sure there's some sort of science involved that could figure out the amount of force needed to not split it up and still have a good effect on its trajectory.[/QUOTE] are you actually being serious

Sounds cool.

We should make houses out of it in tornado areas.

graphene wrap when [editline]2nd June 2013[/editline] i wonder if it's microwavable

Graphene still scares me. We all know how much papercuts hurt, and paper is like, hundreds of atoms thick. Imagine a graphene cut.

I'd worry less about paper cuts and more about lung cancer (graphene is a carcinogen, very similar to asbestos)

Imagine a graphene cut.[/QUOTE] Papercuts hurt because they're all grainy. I can't imagine a graphene cut hurting too much, think of how little pain comes out of those modern needles with the extremely fine needles.

It's pretty flexible compared to paper, it'll probably just bend before it cuts you

[QUOTE=ief014;40874134]It's pretty flexible compared to paper, it'll probably just bend before it cuts you[/QUOTE] What about if someone comes up to you from behind with a sheet of graphine stretched tight in his hands, and SLICE! Right down the middle.

[QUOTE=Tinter;40874455]That's not the graphene's fault though.[/QUOTE] it wouldn't surprise me if it could possess people too

How expensive is graphene to produce?

Shine on you, crazy graphene.

So where's my graphene religion?

[QUOTE=StickyNade;40877862]So where's my graphene religion?[/QUOTE] That'd imply religions actually have something that exists.

Would it be possible to use graphene technology on phone screens? I hate using cases.

lego cubes made out of graphene make it happen

[QUOTE=tr00per7;40872722]We should make houses out of it in tornado areas.[/QUOTE] Graphene would make for some shitty house materials in a tornado zone, it's too lightweight, houses may not collapse easily, but they'd fly away like kites.
