How would a 1 x 1 meter sheet of graphene behave

266 viewsChemistryOther

I see articles about how graphene is this super material that can hold a ton of weight and is magnitudes stronger than steel. would the stuff be bullet proof? would you even be able to see it causes it’s 1 atoms thick ? can you even feel it?

If you’re talking about a graphene sheet 1 meter by 1 meter by 1 atom, it’s not stopping a bullet. I’m not sure it’d stop a *sneeze*. 

No idea if you’d be able to feel it, but you can (apparently) [see it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/jbmtcc/visible_1atom_thick_graphene_1cmx1cmx1atom/)

Without some sort of backing material, a 1-atom thick sheet would probably curl into a roll.
