"Graphene" Topic

Thin, flexible, plastic material that can carry an image… how long before you wear a graphene programmable suit, with a dozen pre-selected pattern options?

How long before a stealth armoured blanket/flak poncho is used by special forces/ assault drones?

If Graphene is to be believed it will make super armours capable of being super strong, probably like some of the top secret materials that I have seen at workshops at plastic conventions.

One super plastic had two states, and went from an inoffensive comb at room temp, to a super sharp knife stronger than steel if it was warmed a few degrees. It held the new shape even after it cooled. It went to the knife shape in minutes with an effective edge, It did not set off detectors amd a cup of hot coffee was enough to trigger the change. Such super materials are "cheap" and I did ask if there was a detection system that would prevent them being smuggled onto a jet. I think you can guess what the answer was.

I have seen lots of very interesting items on display, but a comb/combat knife combo for less than five dollars in bulk was impressive.

Wow.

Not the best of news, but interesting, nonetheless.
