OT; New technology/Graphene

[Richard Fjeld-2]

(If this has been mentioned before, I apologize.)

In looking for information on new battery technology, I found some
interesting talks on YouTube about Graphene tied to battery development.

Graphene is revolutionary.  Relative to an Electron, the thickness of
Graphene is said to be two dimensional.

I don't know which is the most informative link.  This is one of
several. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eh3dA8xnZ4Y

I foresee the possibility of this bringing changes to the hobby, not
only in batteries.  (Consider invisible antennas as you watch the video.)

Dick, n0ce

Here is another video about Graphene that is much nicer to look at.  : )

On a serious note, think about how it could change the hobby. Her closing statement is good.

The instant high-power-density graphene ultra capacitors become available at reasonable cost, we’ll be designing them into our radios. Could be the biggest breakthrough since the Leyden jar.
