So many hyperbolic claims that boil down to a moderate 33% area benefit with very little data about mundane things like long-term reliability, or process variation.
Every time an article mentions some buzzword like 'graphene', it turns out to be just a load of baloney. Graphene can do everything but leave the lab.
- Qwertious 6y agoGraphene already has left the lab, it's being used in some high-end batteries.
- ineedasername 6y agoI think graphene gets a bad rap because it's had a very slow ramp up time due to chicken/egg problems in production cost/demand curves, but that's been changing drastically over the last decade. It's come down in cost by multiple orders of magnitude [0] While total sales have been modestly increasing, with projections for massive growth [1] and if there's a steady market cap while marginal costs decrease that much, also means orders of magnitude increases in shipped product. It's had a lot of growing pains, but we seem to mostly have passed the inflection point in terms of market viability.

- dogber1 6y agoNo, that's just some marketing verbiage with no real physical correspondence.
