Indeed, graphene could be the material that could make it possible for a tremendous leap up in the storage density of lithium-ion batteries. That could mean cellphones with three times the battery life per charge compared to now.

The stuff is an isolator and a conductor. That’s odd.

Some of this technology is as awe-inspiring and mysterious as the brain itself.
...well, getting closer anyway.

Sounds promising. If it really is a revolutionary technology then the environmentalists will need to start their demonization campaign right away.

Why not ditch the copper and just use graphine alone?

The Stanford researchers think the promise of faster computing will induce other researchers to get interested in wires, and help to overcome some of the hurdles needed to take this proof of principle into common practice.

I see they save the most important sentence for last. Most likely we won’t see this anytime soon, if ever.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a strong yet thin lattice. Which country has the largest surplus of grapheme?
How much does graphene cost?
Is graphene sold by the pound or by the atom?

It saddens me that whenever I see news about cutting edge developments like this, it's always a foreigner doing the work. We used to be so awesome - as a people, and as a culture.
Now we just provide an environment for other people to be awesome, and that's just sad.

If the graphite is an auxiliary conductor.. resistance should be lower in the wire.. so less heat and less power used also...so win,win

With the faster speed, wouldn’t this also make more heat? So with one enhancement, we may have created another problem.
