Graphene is pretty amazing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphene

There are a couple of chemical PhD big brains at work that I've talked to about it, seems like we're really just scratching the surface with this stuff.

IBM had some similar stuff on this around 2006. It seems pretty cool indeed.

There have been news stories about it since the mid-2000's. I'm not sure what the engineering challenges are, but until someone actually has a prototype, I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think the problem is the stuff is only an atom thick. These are going to be great condoms.

What's a condom?
