Honestly, i believe that the bottom-up method of creating graphene (Kevin Wyss, 1st speaker) will be the most revolutionary, the one with potential to most revolutionize the future. Not clear yet that Kevin's method, eg from waste plastic, will be THE bottom-up process, but it is the one which has the potential to create products which have the properties I'm fascinated by. Natural graphite creates graphene sheets which are too small in the length / width dimensions to do the things which interest me, eg light weight airship skins, super-strength ropes, etc.

Well, She's adorable. I get excited about science, too!

[ByteMeCompletely]

What CPU should be the first implemented in graphene? The venerable 6502? z80? cray 1?

[rampartranger]

Wish there was a way for small investors to participate.

[dapetik]

What graphene company should i invest in?

[sombh]

Wonder if graphene could one day be incorporated into clothing to give rise to this wonder material that somehow keeps you cool during the most brazenly blazing summers that are coming. Otherwise air-conditioning alone is going to fry the planet with its carbon emissions.

[julieta]

If Graphene is made from Graphite then why isnt Graphite the strongest material in the world?

[rampartranger]

Sounds great. Too bad these guys don’t seem to want ( or need?) investment flows in the near future .

[mfpears]

Uh oh. I think it might be widely called gruhfeen someday

[davidanalyst]

The lady who did the introductions is on drugs. I just want to hear about graphene, not watch someone melting down.

[RVGmetallicasaw]

I wonder if you copied the honeycomb 2d structure of Graphene, but replaced the carbon with gold…

Gold is much more conductive than carbon, but graphene is more conductive than gold. Maybe this line of thought could lead to a superconductor?

[simonmasters]

Graphene can do anything except get out of the lab!
