People are talking about making smaller chips, but what about space elevators? Since DNA in a single cell is on the order of metres, we could presumably grow this macroscopically and find out if the breaking strength is good enough for space elevators. Also the graphene doesn't look like it's in the oxidized form touted a few years back, which was weaker than ordinary carbon fibers.
