Graphene hype starts to become reality
Read more on FT.com - on.ft.com/2O1T0oe
Graphene is a two-dimensional form of carbon, with a hexagonal structure just one atom thick. Until now there has been a lot of hype about potential mind-blowing technologies but not a lot of end product. The FT's Andy Bounds reports

It’s advanced heaps over the last ten years. The trouble is with unrealistic expectations and media that has to sell itself. Make no mistake graphene and carbon nanotubes will be key components to the next Industrial Age.
C'mon guys I was expecting more... Actually hype created by your title not graphene..

It has been mixed with rubber since 2015 to make tires. I dont mind the video, but the title lead me to believe their was some breakthrough. Please be more carefull with video titles; misleading titles will ruin your reputation. Please take this comment as constructive critisism and not hate.
Are the shoes actually 50% tougher than anything else though. I believe they might be better than pure rubber but I'm sceptical "graphene" gives any better result here than carbon fiber say.
Finally a revolutionary product. Shoes that might last a little bit longer. What a time to be alive.
People are so impatient. This is another step in pushing us towards the future. This is exciting stuff.
Wow! Innovative. While we're at it let's get some Intel 7 chips and grind those up and make rubber bands.

ooopsy... when the narrator says, " not a lot of end product.... until now." And then they cut to the sheep - I thought they realized they could spray sheep with graphene to mark them with. You know, 'cause it's probably weather proof too. I mean, that sheep looked like it had been spray ed with graphene. right?
Millions were spend in other countries as well. In Malaysia graphene derives from padi husk. All research money were pocketed with no final commercial product.
Graphene as a material will most likely be used exclusively as an additive in the next decade. Some other applications may come but obtaining it and working with remains extremely difficult today.
Remember plastics? If graphene just comes close to the number of applications...

Its all toys and better tools to advertise more toys. None of those are solving energy issues or actually propel us into more advanced modes of life. Its just reenforcement of our old ways of living with flashier screens, rampant consumption and meaningless gadgets. The last invention that actually changed our way of living was Internet. I don't say that incremental improvements on previous inventions are not desirable, but those are unfortunately just improvements in sales and marketing, not something that would actually make a huge difference in our way of living. Let's take 3D printing - grate for prototyping, but there is no way it will replace the industrial production on the big scale. Mobile devices - I say yes. But why with every incremental improvement to your new Iphone it runs worse then the previous models because of bloateware and forced adds design of software; and instead of helping you at work it makes us less effective because of the addiction to social media. Also in terms of hardware the Moore's law is not working anymore. 10 cores on your processor is not necessary faster because of architecture constraints of your computer, and the clock speed of the CPU is what really matters in most computing tasks. That depends on how small the circuit can get, and we have already reached it's limits. Drones are mostly platforms for usless vloggers to mount their expensive cameras and show off to the world in order to get money from marketing companies that want to sell you more shitty toys. The inventions I am interested in are: Large scale, cost effective carbon fiber composits production, Solid state batteries that cost less than 100 dollars per kWh Fusion technology - like Tokamacs - that actually gets more energy output than requires input, Transportation revolution both in terms of clean vehicles and congestion solution AI that is actually a true AI not some neuronetwork software that gathers your personal information to bombard you with aggressive advertisement

That's an interesting way of thinking. (Reminds me of my high-school teachers who thought that only their class is important). Small incremental improvements are also important and I wouldn't say that 3D printing is a small improvement - it's impact on R&D speed and cost is undeniable. Sure it doesn't resolve all our problems directly but new and better tools may play a key role in the future. All innovation is welcome. Anyway. I totally get the point that most human beings are just wasting resources on silly stuff like making prank videos, singing or smoking cigarettes - none of which directly helps us to develop new tech (though all those may help to relieve stress even if you're an engineer). Hmm. The more I think about it the more it looks like our biggest problems are connected to our social behavior and way of living. If we could get more people involved in science and tech, we could REALLY accelerate innovation. But that's utopia. Part of being born as a human is the freedom to pursue personal happiness and for most people it wouldn't involve getting an engineering degree.

I wonder how many college grad old guys would gladly go reside in a university tent dormitory to be able to experiment, learn about, and work with the development of graphene? I'd go.

Our shoe soles have become so technologically advanced, that scientists are using graphene to push shoe sole rubber to the next level. Amazing!
Making some trainers won't change the world. As always its applying the theoretical knowledge into something practical that is the hard thing to do. Will be a premium high end niche product for many years into the future.
