The reported/purported foil that went back flat after being crumpled may have been analyzed, but obviously there’d be no published papers on it (too bad, really). Material one atom thick wouldn’t be visible to the naked eye. Graphene is the strongest material currently known. Sez here it’s a Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (that makes no sense, there’s no Hydrogen involved) which would make it carcinogenic. Probably will lead to something useful, like really good sunglasses, or maybe nanolasers. ;’) Hey, I’m probably dead wrong, so nobody write in, okay? ;’)

Thanks Quix!
