I watched a relatively new episode of NOVA this evening on PBS. The episode is part of the Treasures of the Earth series this fall.
This particular show discussed metals and how they've changed human life over the years (eons?). You can imagine some of the topics... copper, then bronze... iron, then steel. The usual topics most of us are familiar with but then they mentioned Graphene and Metal Foam. These are new developments (at least new to me). Cool stuff! Anyone heard of this or how they are being applied?
