First sentence of the last paragraph:

"As overpopulation continues to be one of the world’s most pressing environmental concerns..."

Fascinating read. Fascinating material. Odd sentence to just throw in there like that...

Connection some masks are being made of graphene:

Look at this great logic:

"Carbon is already a crucial ingredient in the human body; a little graphene added in might not hurt."

Just because the human body contains carbon in it's carbohydrates and proteins does not mean that graphene sheets are not harmful. I can't see them breaking down easily.

I thought they were carcinogenic.

"It is also flexible, transparent, highly conductive, and seemingly impermeable to most gases and liquids."

Maybe now someone can invent a helium-filled balloon that will actually last more than a day or two. :-P

Current desalination filters require about 1000 PSI to work. The idea using graphene is that the material could be designed with a pore size just large enough to pass water (3 angstroms) but would block everything else including dissolved salt from ocean water. Pressure required would be 100-200 PSI.

There is variant of this technology where pores are created by exposing graphene to high heat and pure oxygen, but exact pore size and placement can't be controlled.

Since Lockheed(MIC) owns the IP I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks for sharing... interesting.

Graphene is great for a car's finish but in the Face? No thanks.
