Except when they coat your skin like a still suit and turn you into the God Emperor of Dune.

So, they actually aren’t really “2D” since they have a thickness of 1 atom? Is that how it works?

Correct. It is one atom thick so while it is technically three-dimensional, it is essentially two-dimensional because the third dimension is so much smaller than the other two.

So I can churn this stuff out on my 3D printer, right? What’s this stuff going for? I’ll spend a weekend to make some quick money.

It’s not two dimensional, that’s just a click-bait term. What they are really saying is that it’s thickness is one atom, and regardless of how large or small a dimension is, it’s still a dimension.

Are we closer to a Space Elevator?


Exactly what I was thinking.

This may be the material the Ringworld Engineers used.

‘gobsmacked’

I love it when a supposedly scientific publication uses slang words.

OK, so the third dimension is the thickness of the single layer of atoms. Not truly two-dimensional, but close enough.
