It's GRAPHENE!!!

Imagine a carbon sheet that's only one atom thick but is stronger than diamond and conducts electricity 100 times faster than the silicon in computer chips.

"It is the thinnest known material in the universe, and the strongest ever measured..."

"A few grams could cover a football field..."

It laughs at the antics of mere steel. It is so attractive, mirrors are shamed by their inability to properly reflect it. It is stronger, faster, smarter, and better than you. It is... the most interesting material in the world.

(With apologies to the Dos Equis folks; I actually rather like those advertisements.)
