remember transparent aluminum? the stuff that allowed the starship enterprise's windows to be large and thin?

this is a thread about "Graphene", a material so strong that a sheet of it the thickness of cling film would almost support the weight of an elephant balanced on a pencil tip!

By my reckoning, that's at least 10 times stronger than the fictional "transparent aluminum".

all i can say is wow.
