Graphenes spec sheet reads like a superheros profile. Two hundred times stronger than steel, a million times thinner than a human hair, and a thousand times more conductive than copper, its no surprise the substance is called a wonder material. When the sheet of carbon was first isolated in 2004 at Manchester University, the breakthrough rocked the scientific world. Countless applications for the miracle substance were envisioned, from storing solar power to stitching batteries into bodies. At the EU, plans to capitalize on the materials promise were drawn up. In 2013, the bloc launched the Graphene Flagship, an initiative to…
