Graphene, a future of super strong materials?

I first heard about graphene some month back but didn’t really pay all that much attention to it then.  But it seems like lately discussion of the stuff is turning up more and more. Graphene is atom thing sheets of carbon in which the atoms are arranged in a design like chicken wire.  It is suppose to even stronger than diamond (which, as you may be aware, is also made of carbon).  Graphene can be used to make carbon nano-tubes which are also generating a lot of publicity in the science and manufacturing world lately.  This Discovery New article this morning provides some good details on graphene and some of its potential future uses.  Who doesn’t love this nano-tech shit?
