Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene


Given that graphene is quite the in vogue material for audio applications I wonder how many (if any) of the vendors selling this are actually sourcing the real thing?

@geoffkait  Yah. And spiders webs are stronger than steel too - and so what. If spiders webs could be produced in labs there’d be “tons” of marketing hype. And they would already be in use to “rigiditize” speaker cones. Yes, we need a new marketing word for any serious scam :). And Geoff - please identify just how many “tons” of graphene are being produced,where and by what company. The universities and research labs would love to know where to pick it up cheap. You could become useful to science! ;) (not)
@geoffkait ..  who’s manufacturing the “tons” of graphene. Give us the details. 
The amount of crap in this thread outweighs the graphene available. In contrast to “tons” being manufactured and “commercial availability” for some years. Readers of this should review the “real news” that MIT (university), with support from the Navy and Dept of Defense, developed a method to manufacture sheets of Real Graphene that may allow mass production. They were able to create a sheet of graphene about 10 ft long. This breakthrough was in April 2018. The nonsense in this thread is pathetic. Disappointing that people resort to lies when most of us just want to learn and share facts. The big question ? Will these posters ever grow up. ???
