The Graphene Revolution: Innovation at the Nanoscale
Nannina Gilder leads a panel discussion between Ariel Malik, entrepreneur and investor, Bradley Larschan, CEO of Avadain, and Kevin Wyss, chemist at Schlumberger Limited, on the exciting new developments and applications of graphene - from aviation and space exploration to electronics, renewable energy, and medicine.

The mission of the Walter Bradley Center for Natural and Artificial Intelligence at Discovery Institute is to explore the benefits as well as the challenges raised by artificial intelligence (AI) in light of the enduring truth of human exceptionalism. People know at a fundamental level that they are not machines. But faulty thinking can cause people to assent to views that in their heart of hearts they know to be untrue. The Bradley Center seeks to help individuals-and our society at large-to realize that we are not machines while at the same time helping to put machines (especially computers and AI) in proper perspective.

Honestly, i believe that the bottom-up method of creating graphene (Kevin Wyss, 1st speaker) will be the most revolutionary, the one with potential to most revolutionize the future. Not clear yet that Kevin's method, eg from waste plastic, will be THE bottom-up process, but it is the one which has the potential to create products which have the properties I'm fascinated by. Natural graphite creates graphene sheets which are too small in the length / width dimensions to do the things which interest me, eg light weight airship skins, super-strength ropes, etc.
Also interested in a process which could create accurate "optical rectennae" solar cells. Conductive antennae of the size of the range of 1/2 the wavelength of sunlight, connected to a conductive sheet by a single metal atom to create a diode.
Other panelist is George Gilder
Proof what you talvez about
Uhhmmm
Uh oh. I think it might be widely called gruhfeen someday
Talk
Wonder if graphene could one day be incorporated into clothing to give rise to this wonder material that somehow keeps you cool during the most brazenly blazing summers that are coming. Otherwise air-conditioning alone is going to fry the planet with its carbon emissions.
Conductive ink comes to mind. It could be used to make clothes light up, maybe w graphene led light made of conductive ink, or to contact the person and use the 1.5v we produce to provide the electricity l.
Hopefully the carbon in graphene can moderate your body odor.
I was thinking top tier bullet proof suits.
I wonder if you copied the honeycomb 2d structure of Graphene, but replaced the carbon with gold… Gold is much more conductive than carbon, but graphene is more conductive than gold. Maybe this line of thought could lead to a superconductor?
Gold doesn’t have the ability to create bonds as easy as carbon which has manyyyy different forms and bonds. That’s why life is carbon based, carbon atoms versatility
Costs more than it worth, I'm sure.
