Whatcha think? Not that i would ever get to use one but it still seems like a really cool gadget.

Seems like there are a lot better uses for our currently very limited supply of graphene.

Neat. I'd rather see research into electronics, vehicles and infrastructure with graphene, but this is pretty good too.

I'd be half tempted to buy them as emergency water filters. our water pump is electricity run, so whenever we lose electricity (which happens several times a year) - we lose all acess to water other then whatever we have previously stored up. the plus side - there are several natural water sources near our home. the drawback is that those water sources are not exactly... clean. sure, i can use other means to filter that water, but.. this seems faster, not to mention safer.

of course... given that graphene research for water filtration has been already ongoing, while condoms seems like a new thing - there is a chance that actual filters will show up before condoms. then again... given how much we are obsessed with sex vs water crisis... condoms may indeed show up on a market first... AND be more affordable, so...

Cool, I guess. But I hate condoms. No use for them personally.

This is awesome, can't wait to see how it turns out.

Idk about applications in condoms, doesn't seem very feasible but I'm all for more breakthroughs in that department. Condoms really blow

Like superhydrophobic graphene aerogel coating for water skis?

...sure.

I was thinking more about supercapacitors and other electronic equipment though. That one super strong lightweight structures for things like airplanes and cars.

"A San Diego team that’s working on a condom that’s imbued with collagen fibrils, harvested from cow tendons, for a “more natural sensation.” Damn them cow tendons feel good.



Also, will they have bills head on them? That's the last thing I want to see when I pull out a condom.

Those polyurethane condoms that came out a few years ago seemed a lot better than latex from what I recall.

I never much liked condoms though and considered it one of the huge perks to partnering off that I didn't need to fuss about it anymore.

I've always wondered how much ass Bill Gates gets. I suppose that this indicates the answer is, "enough to warrant investing in his own state-of-the-art line of condoms".

Would be better it was bill gates doing the thumbs up!
