Rice University researchers are responsible for making the startling discovery, which could cut down greenhouse gas emissions and save money too. We already know that graphene (carbon atoms arranged in 2 dimensional linked hexagons) is the strongest (and thinnest) substance known to man, and importantly can conduct electricity. We can look forward to it replacing valuable copper and silicon—and if it's made from normal table sugar, then that's just doubly sweet.

Space elevator made of sugar - Willie Wonka for the win!
That is fucking awesome! I want a candy cane computer! It would be... sweet.
hehe nice!
Nice post, i follow your blog...
Dude I set off the smoke alarm just making grilled cheese. if I try this nonsense i will burn my apartment building down :O
i want a toilet made of that
Well obviously if it's just a rearrangement of carbon you can make it out of sugar. I doubt getting the molecules to line up in perfect flat hexagons is something that can be performed in a household kitchen, though.
Interesting post...
of course everyone in the precious mining business will go after your sugar. haha. graphene good work here.
I knew candy was the answer to everything!
but i might eat it... lol
Lol they are going to use this stuff to give us electricity :D
would be sweet, lol, to make the strongest material known to man in our kitchens.
really interesting
very interesting post
nice,nice...
I'm actually a student in Bioinformatics with a concentration in organic chemistry. I've been following the research of graphene for quite some time now. It's pretty ridiculous stuff, hmm?
awesome
hope this will do some good
So what kind of setting will it take? White gold? Platinum?
thats some sweet stuff
Exciting developments.
man the future is here
It could also replace expensive conductors in electronics. Excellent!
I never thought that i could think of candy cane computers
Oh the humanity! :P
Great article!
graphene eh. thats cool. gonna replace my precious copper? nooooooooooooooooooo
oh cool i didnt know
I have some sugar, how do I make it? :(
More proof that sugar is God's ultimate gift to man.
I am curious if they can attain the same or higher computing speeds from this stuff than they currently have from silicon/copper cpus? I woudl love to see a 10ghz computer. Windows/Apps all load before you can blink your eye?
this coffee is too strong!
damn that is cool!
incredible info
I want to travel space with a ship made of sugar.
I can only say: Sweet dude!
