Graphene that was discovered in 2004 could turn the carbon that we discard into the atmosphere into a hot commodity

What peaked my interest in graphene. I was watching one of the learning channels last night and they mentioned this product. It was stated that a sheet the same thickness as a sheet of kitchen plastic wrap would take 2 tons to penetrate. If this stuff could be made to a 16Th of an inch it would be virtually indestructible.
