Common mix-ups

Language

• Graphite = graphene. No. [[reference/forms]]
• GO = graphene. No.
• A nanoplatelet tonne = a monolayer wafer. No.
• Wallace or Boehm “discovered graphene” in the 2004 sense. Too coarse. [[timeline/1947]] · [[timeline/1962]] · [[timeline/2004]]

Physics-as-product

• Ideal monolayer tensile strength applies to a bulk composite at face value. No. [[reference/properties]]
• f_T of 100–155 GHz means graphene CPUs this decade. No. [[timeline/2011]]
• Flagship €1bn was a 2013 bank deposit. No. [[timeline/2013]]

Health / rumor

• Nanosafety paper ⇒ covert deployment in vaccines or air. Non sequitur. [[reference/safety]] · [[logs/conspiracies]]
• GO on a cryo-EM grid ⇒ GO in a licensed shot. No. [[topics/fringe/2026-09-16-go-vaccine-5g-claims]]
