    Interesting. Melamine is a pretty commonly used material used frequently in finishes for cabinetry.

    Same stuff the Chinese were putting in milk and pet food a decade or so ago (to give false elevated protein test readings).

    Graphene promises too much with a painful industrial process.

    This seems like a much cheaper and stronger Gorilla Glass.

    I'm sorry but nobody should be called the Carbon P Dubbs chairman of anything. It sounds like a low level pot dealer or something.


    Anyways, I quit reading the article when I saw that because I wanted to come here and make a stupid, failed joke. Because this material is made in sheets, can it be 3D printed? That'd be huge. Let's 3D print some steel-plastic houses for super cheap in hurricane areas.

    Fun Fact: from 1957-65, the chairman of the American Cancer Society was Larry Lungtar
