Buckypaper — Out of the Lab, Into the Market

doomsdaywire writes "Buckypaper isn't exactly news to anyone here. However, this article quotes Ben Wang, director of Florida State's High-Performance Materials Institute, saying, 'Our plan is perhaps in the next 12 months we'll begin maybe to have some commercial products.' The article continues: '"If this thing goes into production, this very well could be a very, very game-changing or revolutionary technology to the aerospace business," said Les Kramer, chief technologist for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, which is helping fund the Florida State research. ... The long-range goal is to build planes, automobiles and other things with buckypaper composites. The military also is looking at it for use in armor plating and stealth technology.'"

My plan is perhaps in the next 12 months I'll begin maybe to believe this is something more than vaporware.

very informative article

According to the article, buckypaper "conducts electricity like copper or silicon." So it's either a conductor or an insulator.

The article smells like roses or shit.
