Graphene is an amazing material. It can do anything and everything... except leave the lab.

Lmao too true

The last thing I heard that about was aerogel.

Unless I've missed something, nothing's changed!

It took me about a minute to find this: graphene aerogel for sale.

I'll say the same thing I said in another comment. It took 15+ years for "5nm" chips to be produced. China just made some last year which is a development the West thought incredibly fast.

I think most of us are ignorant to just how far behind consumer electronics are to things happening in the lab. Maybe in 15 years graphene chips will be all the rage.
