doomsdaywire writes "Buckypaper isn't exactly new news to anyone here. However, Ben Wang, director of Florida State's High-Performance Materials Institute, says "Our plan is perhaps in the next 12 months we'll begin maybe to have some commercial products."

"If this thing goes into production, this very well could be a very, very game-changing or revolutionary technology to the aerospace business," said Les Kramer, chief technologist for Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, which is helping fund the Florida State research.
