Yeah, I'm not quite understanding how one would go about capturing vibrational (heat) energy of the atoms when their motion is random (complex).

I always hear about the great inventions graphene will allow, but very little materializes. We have supercapacitors that are a couple thousand Farads now, but what else do we have? I want to see an elephant standing on the end of a pencil that is suspended by a paper-thin sheet of graphene. I want to see graphene rope the size of dental floss that can pull a tractor out of a ditch. How about batteries that don't destroy themselves over time?
