Melamine is cheap as hell. The lab apparatus they used is expensive but this process is really scalable.

A stack of alternating graphene and layers of this material would be interesting - we're starting to get into mass produced molecular level materials engineering.


and the first iphone cost about... idk, $10m in R&D?
