As smart as these scientists are, they don’t know bullets actually LEAVE cases when fired. I’ve sent a lot of rounds in my day, and I’ve never seen one leave a muzzle with the case still on it.

I’d be more impressed if they said it got harder than a liberal’s head when faced with facts....

Is there anything that graphene atoms cannot do? My mom warned me as a young lad, "NEVER trust atoms, dear - they make up everything!

from what I’ve seen the hard part of graphene like carbon nanotubes is to produce it in bulk.

Got to wonder at the idea of using something hard as a diamond which shatters when hit...........

They finally successfully reverse-engineered the “tinfoil” from the Roswell flying saucer crash....

Seriously, tinfoil? Has anyone alive today actually used tin foil?

Another article stating that graphene is “two dimensional” when they actually tell you the thickness of the third dimension...I suppose I should be used to it.

Shouldn’t be hard to stop that bullet, seeing as how it was never fired...

the world's first two-dimensional material which is just one atom thick

I would argue its still a three-dimensional material, even if one dimension has a size of one atom.

Catherine at the Daily Mail stole this article, and also made some silly mistakes. For example, original article lists as a possible use "wear-resistant material" and she put "water-resistant material".

Here's the real article: https://www.graphene-info.com/new-graphene-material-called-diamene-switches-flexible-harder-diamond-upon-impact
