If graphene were on the stock market, I could see it having similar investor enthusiasm to what Tesla has. People are absolutely crazy about it, and there are some staggering numbers that explain why. We’ve been covering graphene for quite awhile, and my take on it is that it will have huge impact when production costs finally come down. (However, I think it also comes with some huge risks.)

The following Quib.ly infographic (found via GAS2) is a lot better organized and designed than most infographics out there these days. It does a great job answering the question “What is graphene?” as well as “Why are people so crazy about graphene?” Check it out so you don’t get caught uninformed at your next dinner party:
