Probably the most exciting thing about this is that it shows the hard work of labs to discover the tacit knowledge necessary to produce single layer graphene is bearing fruit. Developing the real world industrial processes for putting theory into practice is always the hardest part of creating new technology especially when doing so on atomic scales. It seems slow and underwhelming compared to whizbang announcements about wonder materials but this is the type of gradual progress that the future is based on.
