minus-square@ZagamTheVilelinkEnglish91•6 months agoI admit I didn’t read the article throughly, but surely if it’s impossiblely thin it can’t exist. I only bring this up because I’m an obnoxious pedant.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoCan’t you make one atom thin sheets of carbon with a pencil and tape?
minus-square@AuxlinkEnglish3•6 months agoYes, you can, but your sheet will be very small. If you want to make a sheet large enough to make a shirt, things get ridiculously expensive.
minus-squareroboticalinkEnglish3•6 months agoYeah but he was being pedantic over the word “impossibly”. If we can make 1 atom thin sheets, then it’s not impossible, right?
