While production methods are improving, large scale, environmentally sound synthesis of graphene is not yet in full swing. According to the Flagship, a European project dedicated to graphene, several products should be commercially available in another 10 or 15 years. Much remains to be seen.

Now that a group at MIT has proved that “magic angles” can produce in carbon sheets, physicists are trying to apply the twistronics approach to other configurations of graphene.

TIL that Andre Geim won the Ignobel prize in 2000 for levitating a frog and then won the Nobel prize in 2010 for his work on Graphene. He is the only person to win both awards.

Carbon nanotube - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_n
The shortest carbon nanotube can be considered to be the organic compound cycloparaphenylene, which was synthesized in 2008 by Ramesh Jasti.[21] Other small molecule carbon nanotubes have been synthesized since.[22]

Cycloparaphenylene - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopar
In 1934 by V. C. Parekh and P. C. Guha described the first published attempt to synthesize a cycloparaphenylene, specifically [2]CPP. They connected two aromatic rings with a sulfide bridge, and hoped that removal of the latter would yield the desired compound. However, the attempt failed as the compound would have been far too strained to exist under anything but extreme conditions.[3]

New, non-invasive blood sugar testing methods using saliva
phys.org/news/2021-10-non-inva
Gao's prototype saliva sensor uses copper nanomaterials which are anchored on a base strip made of graphene sheet. Graphene is an inexpensive carbon material that generally does not react with other compounds. "Graphene strips are thin and flexible just like paper, so you can deposit the materials on the top and it's still flexible," says Gao. "It's a promising substrate in biosensors."
