Is that like the real thing (graphene) and can do anything but go out of the lab ?

If Graphene can do it, why can't they?

Is it practical? Or it's the next graphene ?

johnny22 Jan 27, 2018 View on HN

Can't graphene be used for that in the future?

kinda like with Graphene, cool material, hard to produce.

What can't graphene do?

danmaz74 Aug 27, 2017 View on HN

Tangential: are there any commercially-deployed graphene based technologies yet?

Torn Nov 16, 2011 View on HN

Is there anything graphene can't do?

How difficult is to recreate e.g. 100nm litography diy?
