grunaura writes “South Korean researchers have devised a way to create graphene sheets one centimeter square using a hydrocarbon vapor on heated nickel. It’s touted as being more efficient than the current process where graphene sheets are pressed, and there is evidence that ‘the quality of graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition is as high as mechanically cleaved graphene.’ Graphene is relatively new, but not to Slashdot. This round of news highlighting the technology focuses on the bendable nature of graphene sheets, as opposed to the memory applications or capacitive properties discussed here previously. These films are the closest we have come to superconductors at room temperature.”

As Flight 1549 hit the Hudson River yesterday, Captain Sullenburger managed to hold the aircraft steady. In the ensuing panic, he was then last to get off the plane after searching it twice for any remaining passengers.
