      It would kinda be the same as amputation, the needles are too small to cause any real damage. An atom thick graphene cut (if possible) most likely wouldn't be painful, noticable, and the cut would leave no opening in the skin.

      Yeah its strong material... So is tungsten which is used for lightbulb filaments... A very small amount of a strong material is still weak. It is simply stronger than the same object made of other materials. A lot of graphene will however be very strong.
      Btw diamond is actually pretty weak. It is hard, not strong. It can be easily crushed or shattered from strong impacts but due to its hardness makes great drills or other friction based tools that wear things down.
      Graphene is a different material with different uses. primarily electrical uses i would think due to its low electrical resistance.

      Graphene is pretty strong as well, but not hard as in case of dimond as you have said, it has multiple implication out side the electricals industry due do is strength it can be used elsewhere also.
      When you stack up Graphene it just becomes graphite and loses its abilities, so if in your endavour to make it stronger you are stacking more Graphene sheets and doing just the opposite.

    It should be noted that diamond is significantly hard, which doesn’t equal durable.
    This means that if you distribute the diamond thinly (such as in the form of a sheet) it will be extremely brittle, and therefore less durable than something like steel, which is softer and will bend rather than break when under force.

    I remember hearing somewhere that the properties of graphene on scotch tape actually had both conductive and capacitive abilities to where if a battery were to be made from it would end up being a fairly long lasting battery that could charge to 100% in a few minutes.

    I hate how people keep talking about how strong it is without actually showing how strong it is. Yeah what can you do about it? Slam a hammer and it won't break?
    I've actually touched a graphene from my laboratory and it is very brittle, every graphene sample we had are taken with care because it is very brittle. Transfering a small area of graphene from 1 place to another is very challenging and some of them breaks just because some water are on it. So yeah, I don't get it why most people call it "strongest material in the world".

    • @MiszuFiszu

      As you said, graphite is multiple layers of graphene, however these layers are not connected as strongly as the carbon atoms in each particular layer (which is what gives graphene its great strength), so they are able to "slide" against one another, making it much easier to break a piece of graphite than just one layer of strongly bound carbon atoms

    Did you know, diamonds, although they ARE the hardest mineral on earth, they’re NOT the *strongest* mineral on earth? In fact diamonds are actually one of the weakest minerals on earth!! It’s because they’re so hard!!! Let me explain: Glass is a pretty hard substance, harder than plastic, and sure it would feel pretty painful if someone hit you with a glass bottle where is a plastic bottle wouldn’t hurt as much. That’s hardness. However if you were to throw the two bottles at the wall the glass bottle would shatter instantly and the plastic bottle would survive just fine! That is strength!
