Graphene solar sails

morreale Monday 17 of June, 2013
The Next Big Future website has posted an interesting article about Graphene solar sails. A graphene solar sail could be very large and be very light. It appears to provide the best performance in terms of strength. I'm having trouble find a 100 mm wafer coated with a single layer of graphene so I can't imaging how someone would build a 100 m2 graphene sail.
