It may be a complete misquote from Charles Duell, but reading this article in the MIT technology review, I couldnt help but be impressed about how far the human race has come and how far there is to go.
"Hone compares his test to stretching a piece of plastic wrap over the top of a coffee cup, and measuring the force that it takes to puncture it with a pencil. If he could get a large enough piece of the material to lay over the top of a coffee cup, he says, graphene would be strong enough to support the weight of a car balanced atop the pencil."
Exciting stuff. 5 years down the track? Perhaps not - this material might miss generation X, Y and potentially a few after.
