It would certainly be cool to know that the same material could be used to both absorb/store kinetic energy and efficiently transmit electricity generated from the kinetic energy to capacitors/batteries..... back when Clarke wrote his 'space elevator' novel, I think he hinted at something like this as well when he spoke of the design of the cars that moved up and down the elevator..... funny how good he was at seeing the technologies of the future.....

I like this ice casting idea. The modern age is coming to a end . Digital? Bio robotics? Genetic mechanical age I guess is coming to fruition. does the graphene grow like a organism?
