Graphene: The Strongest Material in the World made from TRASH? Discovery from Rice University

As a child/teenager I did dream of a machine that took garbage in and simply distilled the material according to the periodic table. As I grew older I saw how that was not possible. Then James Tour (and his brilliant students) come along... It seems too fantastic to be true, but JT is such an incredibly guy - he can be mistaken, but he cannot be lying! If this flash-thing really works as well as explained, well - Hallellujah, praise be to God!

[@motie38]

As you grew older you saw how that was not possible because a bunch of unimaginative teachers drilled doubt into your mind, I suspect. Apply enough heat, and you will reduce any structure to it's component elements. All you have to do is figure out how to apply that heat in a well controlled manner. Easier said than done, understood, but hey, we've already done greater than that by splitting the elements themselves into smaller elements and drawing out the excess power via controlled nuclear reactions. So why wouldn't we be able to do this, given enough thought, time and effort?

Man…we stopped dreaming. Then a man of God came forward. Now we can look to the future with joy.

Flash Graphene is the most important technology development of the 21st century.

[@branchofthevine779]

It’s too premature to make this claim. The process is not at scale so the energy input cost and the production of high quality graphene value is still net negative. However this seems very promising particularly with introduction of ML to control the thermolysis.

[@fyrerayne8882]

Very broad applications. Cool

[@jayakare]

Wow, that's awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing, Dr. Tour 👏

[@JadeDragon407]

I remember what you were saying in Metaxas' SitC event a while back where you were talking about graphene use in neurological technologies; pretty wild stuff if that can be used to help heal spinal and other injuries/pathologies. Sounds also like the process to create graphene is also a more efficient and cost-effective means of recycling and getting back precious/rare earth elements out of previously mfgd products. To me, this is a BIG keypoint, as you consider the tons of plastic and other trash filling landfills, electronic trash being dumped in African coastal countries, etc., we have got to do a much better job of stewardship regarding the trash that is generated in the world. If recycling or reconstituting of materials can be done cheaply enough, then corporations will not mind implementing tech doing persuing it.

[@maxredman5628]

dr. Tour and his team severed the spinal cord of a rat which paralyzed the rat from the neck down... then used graphene which reconnects the severed spinal cord... the rat eventually ran around after a while

We're not clueless, there are multiple well understood, published ways this could have happened. Peptide formation. Tour ignored the necessary presence of catalysts in rocks such as magnesium. Well understood. Lipids. They do spontaneously form membranes by electrostatic forces alone. Eukaryotic cells. He pretends that chemistry has to spontaneously form a modern cell. It didn't. There were many understood stages that he ignores. Including millions of years of evolution and refinement. We've learned nothing since Miller Urey 60 years ago. No. Results and significance of experiments mischaracterised or misunderstood. Please watch the videos x

I'd never really heard of the circular econony until I saw Dr Simon Michaux thoroughly debunk it. Now Dr Tour has reverse debunked it.

[@carlyleighb]

Circular economy is becoming more and more mainstream in architecture (my profession), engineering and construction through salvage and designing for deconstruction and policies encouraging careful dismantling of buildings ratherthan traditional demolition. It's a huge opportunity for reducing landfill waste and demand for raw materials. The economics behind it are very encouraging too. Lots of good work coming out of Europe and San Antonio, Texas on this. William McDonough (architect) and Michael Braungart (chemist) co-authored a book called "Cradle to Cradle" that talks a lot more about these concepts and gives practical examples in architecture and materials manufacturing. Dr. Tour's team is taking this to the next level. Very exciting.

[@pacof4558]

So these graphene nanorobots you've described at the beginning are superkillers. Isn't it more accurate to say that the people that flip the light switches/direct the special light at them are the superkillers? On another note isn't graphene toxic inside humans? I remember warnings from some teachers in school saying not to put our graphite pencils ✏️ in our mouths because it was toxic to us. Therefore even without special light directed at graphene inside us cell death will take place once it's there. I don't think Our Heavenly Father would like that.

[@philflip1963]

A problem I see here is that anyone intending to develop a process for producing Graphene on a massive scale has to consider that whichever process they choose to implement may soon be superceeded by a superior process because the science is still developing so rapidly. Graphene may therefore only be produced in large quantities where the need is pressing and the investment in process plant and infrastructure is moderate. The ramp up to mass production may therefore continue to grow at a moderate scale for a while yet.
