Tangentially related. This company using graphene laced concrete to reduce the amount of cement required. And eliminating steel. New product called "Concretene".

> graphene

Graphene has its own set of problems. Namely, it can be toxic to humans. [1] And who knows what massive quantities of graphene in concrete will do to an environment 10-20 years after the building's construction. Even demolition with explosives will probably be problematic due to potentially massive clouds of nanoparticles it could create.

Graphene isn't persistent though - it burns.

In the context of building materials that's not a good thing
