Is there any topic about potential uses for graphene that hasn't made it into the thread?

CONCRETE GRAPHENE APPLICATIONS, LITERALLY!

Posted By Terrance Barkan, Wednesday, January 10, 2018

Advanced materials company, First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR) is working with the University of Adelaide (UoA) on graphene for industrial building products.

I took my son to his training for ski racing at the local hill this evening and noticed that his skis purport to contain graphene. Here is a description from the manufacturer: https://www.head.com/en-IC/sports/ski/te.../graphene/

I came upon this article inserted as a link within another regarding the coming scarcity of fresh drinking water to many highly populated cities of the world. 

A potentially life saving application of graphene oxide is being developed to operate as a sieve to filter out salt from seawater for desalination purposes.  Graphene oxide has potentially overcome the limitations of consistent pore size in mono layer graphene required for molecule filtration when manufactured on an industrial scale.  Graphene oxide also has the advantage of scalability and cost, which is another barrier to the use of graphene in an industrialized application.

Thanks to the existence of this legendary thread, I was curious enough about the process to delve into the research letter to better understand this fascinating science.  The legendary Cardboard graphene thread strikes again!

There may be less intensive ways to create this material, but FWIW, here is a "How it's Made" version of creating a Graphene chip.

And here I was thinking this thread got bumped because of the Nature article this week on graphene possibly being a high-temperature superconductor (except "high-temperature" in this case means about 2 degrees above absolute zero):

Wow.

That's a very hot take on a subject very close to my professional life. The underlying papers aren't even officially published yet - just posted in "pre-publication".

Looks at least promising, though promising more in a "this is going to help us understand things" sort of way rather than "this thing will be great technology" way.
The characterization of the insulating version (which really matters for understanding what is going on fundamentally) is far from solid so far, but there will be lots of follow up work.

At the recent PGA event (Arnold Palmer Invitational), Callaway spent a lot of TV adtime promoting graphene as the Thing that makes their balls as the Biggest Thing du jour,  I'll try them out soon.....

Damn, you beat me to it.  It has gotten to the point where any article I see about graphene prompts me to search for this thread.

Because no news about graphene can go by without me reviving this thread...

https://phys.org/news/2018-11-graphene-s...ivity.html

I guess a graphene bilayer has some properties that, under the right circumstances, could make it a superconductor.

That particular report falls into the most-likely-bogus category.

- Several other groups have done the identical experiment on almost identical samples and not seen this.
- There is no particular connection between what they report and superconductivity. The idea relies upon a weak argument by analogy, i.e. there is an important high temperature superconductor with such a flat band.
- Really important results in this area that colleagues believe are not published in Science Advances.

Superconductivity in twisted graphene discussed higher up in this thread does seem to be real and interesting.

[Weird forum bug. Occasionally when I try to post, the message I write doesn't appear but instead the quotation of the OP shows up twice. I think this only happens when I used Microsoft Edge. Anyone else notice this or know why? ]

Quick question for you. Is phys.org a credible physics news site?  It pops up frequently in my various feeds (twitter, google news), but it is hard for me to evaluate its credibility.  That they would push a "most-likely-bogus" story suggests that they might be easily caught up in hype, but of course this sort of thing can happen to the best of sites.
