Graphene Micro Supercapacitors

[amdx]

An interesting article about micro capacitor manufacturer.

"These micro-supercapacitors, made from a one-atom-thick layer of
graphitic carbon, can be easily manufactured and readily integrated into
small devices such as next-generation pacemakers"

Synopsis: A laser-printed 1-atom thick planar graphene super-cap, with
interdigitated electrodes for high surface area, written by a
LightScribe DVD-writer. Cool.

One wonders how you connect to them...

If you go to Nature communications you can at least see the figures in
the article.

Sounds like just the thing for a "next-generation pacemakers". One
atom separating you from death.

"Honey, I squished the one-atom-thick capacitor?"

"[D]ecedent was punched in the atom-thick capacitor. Tragically, it
tore."

Thanks. Pictures here: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/journal/v4/n2/pdf/ncomms2446.pdf

It's too bad they charge $32 for the .PDF. I know Nature needs to
survive, but OTOH, as a consumer of their product it's too easy to go
broke buying cold fusion hoax articles and the like. The quality of
academic publications is, um, unreliable, at best. (Or "reliably
bad," if you prefer.

$32 a pop leaves loads of kids who could be tomorrow's innovators
locked out.

At the last APS March meeting I signed up for a year subscription to
Nature for $60 (I think.. it might have been $80). 'In principle' I
was also supposed to get on-line access to all their articles. But I
ran into several road-blocks when I tried to get it to work.. and just
gave up. In a year I could down loda a lot of nice articles... of
course I never know what I'm going to want tomorrow.

It would be nice if after (say) 20 or 30 years all the old articles
were free.
