This article is about "Graphene oxide, the impure, nowhere-near-as-miraculous bastard son of graphene"
- aidenn0 15y agoYes, but the article that this article references is about graphene: http://www.nature.com/news/graphene-spun-into-metre-long-fibres-1.9549 http://www.nature.com/news/graphene-spun-into-metre-long-fib... "Zhen Xu and Chao Gao at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, have achieved just that. They have used an industrial process called wet spinning to turn an aqueous solution of graphene oxide — a modified form of graphene that is easier to dissolve — into fibres that are tens of metres long. A final chemical reduction treatment turns the long strings of graphene oxide back into graphene." So the final result is graphene, despite what the extreme tech article states.
- mrsebastian 15y agoThanks for pointing that out -- have clarified it in the story.
