"graphene. It’s one atom thick, (about one-millionth the thickness of a single strand of hair), it’s 100 times stronger than steel, and it conducts electricity like nothing else."

What will you do/make with it????
It sounds cool but I haven't seen any pictures of an actual piece of graphene that isn't just a little wafer.
When is someone going to make something out of it? I want to see some graphene tubes that are 2" in diameter and 36" long. I want to see graphene square stock.
I'd like to see how tough the stuff is. If I coated my car with graphene, would it chip, flake or fade? Could I color graphene to use in place of powdercoat?
Could I make a non-stick pan that actually was non-stick for its entire life?
Probably not much, it will be very expensive for a while after it's commercially available. The first commercial applications will probably be batteries and semiconductors.

Pretty much this, but it is also extremely unhealthy stuff to be around if it flakes or chips.
From what I've heard this stuff is pretty much asbestos 2.0 health wise, so all its applications will be encased in things.
