Oh dear Lord. Folks, the world is about to change. Give it a few years for this to go mainstream and the material science folks to come up with appropriate materials for consumers.

This is a life changing thing. It will affect computing, transportation, space exploration, medical technology, and wow wow wow... I wish I could explain it all to you.

science, news
