graphene - silicone 'batteries'

Check this out for an amazing application of Graphene = no more 'batteries' as we know them !!

This is different from the graphene super capacitors which are well known & are often reported at 'batteries', they fit into a different engineering/marketing space.

The more I read the more I think that graphene is going to be to materials tech what the Iron age was or what the micro processor was to computing.

It now looks like there will be a large relatively cheap source of high quality graphite to make it possible & UNX + LYC look to be the two at present that have that massive source - exciting times.

There will be some interesting demand/supply/price dynamics happening with supply up dramatically but demand increasing as these amazing applications become reality.

Many 'Happy New Years' ahead.
