How much of the suggested applications of graphene are just memes?

Pretty much any material with desirable qualities is going to find a large number of different applications. How many uses of plastic can you think of? How many uses of copper? Silicon? Wool? Or the Judas of miracle materials, asbestos.

What I'm saying is that a material with any unique properties having a lot of great uses is pretty much typical, not unusual

Why do you call asbestos the Judas of miracle materials?

>>8720502
Isn't it obvious? Asbestos was first thought to be a miraculous material, one of the Apostles of Building like wood and iron. Then like Judas, it betrayed us by giving everyone cancer.

Didn't know that.

Asbestos is actually pretty amazing. It's a mineral that can be woven like fabric. You can use it like cotton, but it can't catch on fire in any reasonable situation, it's a good insulator, it's incredibly strong and durable, it's cheap, it's plentiful... if you insulated a building with it, it would serve the dual purpose of slowing fires. And you could weave it into clothing to make them fire resistant.

Too bad about the lung cancer though
