I mean, that's not because graphene has become a routine part of our material repertoire. It has no reason to be in those things, does nothing, and is just marketing fuel. We may put "graphene" in things, but we are not much closer to using its interesting properties.
- marcosdumay 2y agoRight now, graphene is an amazing component of filters and composite materials. But only of the very expensive kinds of those. We don't put it on a lot of things. It's expensive as hell.
