Caltech scientists solved an enigma, which intrigued scientists for over a decade when they recently discovered a method to mass produce a wonder material as revolutionary as carbon fiber.
quote:

Graphene, at one-atom thickness, is the thinnest compound known to man. Yet it is 200 times stronger than steel and can move electrons across its surface up to three orders of magnitude better than silicon. Scientists and industry experts want to exploit graphene to produce things such as bendable computer screens, desalinated water, more efficient solar panels and lightning fast microcomputers.

Graphene is a $20 million market in 2014, but it could grow to be a $390 million market by 2024, according to independent market researcher IDTechEx.
Yeah money!

Yeah, my computer's only a couple years old and it still works good so I don't need a graphene I don't think

A phone call waylaid him from his “cooking” experiment for 15 minutes. When he returned, Boyd saw that a malfunction allowed trace amounts of methane vapor to trickle into his sample. The happy accident produced graphene.
That is pretty cool how something like this works out.

Is that what they want to use to make the elevator to the space station?

Very cool. I'm in the composites industry and this will have a major impact on the high end segment of the industry. Boeing, Airbus and military applications are through the roof. It will all be applied to that side with remnants for the public.

Is this at all related to the technology used in Head tennis rackets or is that just them marketing a gimmick?

Is this the breakthrough needed for the space elevator?

It is an extremely efficient conductor, so what happens when lightning strikes a space elevator made of graphene?

SanDisk, which has been doing well in the market, holds 35 patents for Graphene FWIW

Though my best suggestion for right now would be to start investing in the industries that make the materials necessary to produce Graphene.

Most of the charge goes straight into the ground and not much else?
