We should also figure out what do do with the stuff before it ends up in the ocean and landfills. Or at least what will happen when it’s there.

I remember reading a decade ago how they figured out how to create it by using sticky tape to pull up a single layer… what happened to that?

Unfortunately, that is stochastic and will not be reproducible or result in yields anywhere close to acceptable to industry. There are methods to grow materials of the same class(TMDC) with CVD and the like, but apparently they don’t reach the quality of flakes that the tape method results in.

This is a poor understanding of the scientific method.

My comment is not about the scientific method.

You claim many of the results remain theoretical. Are you familiar with the experimental validation of many of these results? That is certainly part of the scientific method.

You replied to a comment saying they had worked with the stuff with a ridiculous assertion that they misunderstood the scientific method. Learn social skills if you want to actually discuss something
