No, the title of this post is not a typo. Here's an idea (for free) for all the materials nuts out there:
Graphene circuits aligned 3-dimenaionally in aerogel.
Discuss.
No, seriously. They are already working on functional, fashionable wearable computing platforms - this would make it easy. Any temperature issues are already minimized by the properties of the graphene circuits, the insulating properties of aerogels make that whole line of problems a non-issue. Lower power consumption: check. And the density of the circuits available...wow. I could conceivably run a computer that could defeat BlueGene at chess...in my shorts.
They're already working on display technologies with graphene, but consider an artificial eye. If we replace nature's aqueous humor with this circuitry infused aerogel, how small could we make the current computing rigs required for the latest artificial vision projects?
Just the tip of the iceberg, if you ask me.
