3D Floating Graphene materials are stronger than diamond, but flexible like cloth. 3D Graphene "floats" a first stack of two dimensional planar sheets of six-member carbon atoms within the same THREE DIMENSIONAL spaces as a second stack of graphene oriented at 90 degrees.
Atomic Constructive Interference is avoided because energetic charge densities are EXACTLY matched [0 to 0.8] to the inventive step of producing two body-centered-hexagons rotated 90° relative to their hexagonal planes and each hexagon centerpoint [zero-mass and minimal energy] body-centered around one hexagon side [the mass] midpoint. Theoretical production processes are possible and being tested for commercialization. Many other inventions are possible from this 3D Floating Graphene inventive step.
ENERGETICS of Hexagon Six-Atom Carbon [graphene]: Atomic resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) image is obtained of graphite where all of the six carbon atoms of the hexagons are visible. The cross section scan reveals two pronounced maxima corresponding to two adjacent carbon atoms (d = 1.42 Å) in a hexagon and valleys in-between showing the variations in the charge density between two adjacent carbon atoms. The distance between the deepest points is 2.46 Å which corresponds to the holes of the hexagonal. Relative to molecular diamers this is a vacuum tight ultrathin film for dirigible applications.
