When will nanotech be regulated by a worldwide agreement for what it really is, molecular contamination, chunks of nuclear fallout contain similar odd structural forms,in 2.5 billion years of organic evolution-" if it had value, a living organism would have made it by now and not just to sell on the stock market?"

All of the publicity surrounding graphene makes it sound like a new discovery - and it certainly isn't...
