So, it's widely produced as a lubricant already, but how would supply hold up if the market for the material hugely expands? One of the really nice things about the potential for graphene electronics is that you can be darn sure we'll never run out of carbon. Molybdenum, on the other hand, isn't exactly the most common metal in the world. Our electronics already depend on traces rare elements, but not as primary structural components.
So, even if we can make chips out of this stuff, will they actually be economically viable, and for how long?
