Graphene Can Be Made With Table Sugar
Zothecula writes with this snippet from Gizmag: "There's no doubt that the discovery of graphene is one sweet breakthrough. The remarkable material offers everything from faster, cooler electronics and cheaper lithium-ion batteries to faster DNA sequencing and single-atom transistors. Researchers at Rice University have made graphene even sweeter by developing a way to make pristine sheets of the one-atom-thick form of carbon from plain table sugar and other carbon-based substances. In another plus, the one-step process takes place at temperatures low enough to make the wonder material easy to manufacture."
Soylent Graphene is people!
OMFG!!! This is fucking amazing!!
Nanotubes from grass? Who is going to tell my fucking dealer????
Sweet. What does mine say?
Can I make it at home? And use it in a 3D printer?
Ingredients: Sand, Aluminum, natural and artificial flavoring.
I can see the fnords!
