A lot of companies and even countries will be upset if their main source of income becomes obsolete in just a manor of a few years...

Yes, the technology more or less just needs to be tweaked, but as you said: there is more to it that simply making the material - they need to work on other things as well.

1 word: FOXCONN. Yes, if this were purely for an automobile application you'd be right. But this clearly isn't the case......

Use this stuff to make solar batteries.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Happydolphin would be furious. He wouldn't understand if he was loosing or not :D

True dat xD

What are you swedes saying about me :)

ARE YOU CALLING ME A SWEDE??? 

Nah, Im probably a norwegian

I'd rather be drunk ^^

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Still don't think we'll see this technology for at least 10 years :P

You're a stubborn one! :)

The reason you mentioned is mass-production, but that's really not a solid argument given that they already have most of the technological infrastructure to make this happen. Now they just need to automate the final step (fitting it into a battery).

Why you're so intent on saying 10 years doesn't make sense to me. We know they can mass-produce the graphene oxide, what's left for 10 years?

Not to mention there is exhuberant demand for better batteries given the multi-billion dollar nature of the consumer electronics industry.

Seriously anyone thinking mass production would be holding this back has clearly not ever seen the show "how stuff is made"

or whatever the show is called or others like it.

The process of making this looks freakin simple. Basically you put this liquid graphite on a plastic and then shoot it with a laser. They would be able to make a machine that would do what a $1 cd burner could do that would make so much of this stuff we would never be able to use it all.

The only thing holding this thing back is more testing and perfecting it, and finally implementing it. Looking at the x-ray pic of a typical batter, I can see them just swapping what that roll is inside with this material and bam you have new batteries. But of course its not that easy. Or at least I wouldn't think so. But its not production holding this back

I am ^^

Mass production is just one of the things this has to go through; there are several other steps before the product even reaches that point. New technology always under goes a period of testing and perfecting and whatnot. I'm no inventor, so I don't know what has to be done to reach mass production, but I'm betting it'll take more than just 2-3 years...
