To me the most astonishing part of this article is that they can 'bake' graphene out of graphite oxide with consumer-grade tech. Did I miss something, or is that not a huge step forward for graphene synthesis?


All it takes is a pencil and some scotch tape, it does not get much more low tech than that.


And if lightscribe can produce usable graphene for super capacitors an industrial machine that does the same thing faster and better shouldn't cost too much, and I can't see any reason why the low-tech approach can't scale up easily.


Yeah, I'm already thinking about "etching" graphene circuits with my old dvd burners. Is it really as easy as they make it sound?


So RepRap will be able to print it own circuit board? Astonishing.
