Graphene Super Paper Is 10x Stronger Than Steel

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the is-there-anything-it-can't-do dept.

Elliot Chang writes "The University of Technology in Sydney recently unveiled a new type of graphene nano paper that is ten times stronger than a sheet of steel. Composed of processed and pressed graphite, the material is as thin as a sheet of paper yet incredible durable — this strength and thinness gives it remarkable applications in many industries, and it is completely recyclable to boot."
