It seems like graphene production at scale has been a few years away for a decade or so now. Is there reasonably a future where all these incredible graphene-related technologies come to fruition within our lifetimes? Or is this just another cold fusion of a technology?
- parkingrift 4y agoAluminum was extremely difficult to manufacture before the Hall-Heroult process. Only a true pessimist would assume we would never solve manufacturing problems with graphene.

These results are real. Speculating that a technology be vaporware is a very different and weaker claim. How do you know that people will not solve the engineering problems preventing mass production? Because it wasn't immediately obvious how to do it in the past?
