So https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Bernoulli_beam_theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler%E2%80%93Bernoulli_beam_t... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam I think this is essentially MIT finding that the structure of graphene in 3d is also an extremely efficient beam/plane regardless of material. Which is a very cool empirical discovery even if it doesn't mean much for graphene as a building material.
- cestith 10y agoI think it's very cool especially because it applies to things other than graphene. With all the issues producing graphene inexpensively, if we can get some great strength and durability increases in low-density constructions with other materials that could be a real boon.
