Buckypaper spacecraft and probes
Buckypaper could be somewhere in the realm of 500 times stronger than traditional steel, while also being ten times lighter. Ideal for spacecraft.

Get more energy out that you put in – profit from the chaotic ripples given to you for free, while you can – I know you won’t.

Large parachutes, like the ones used in space shuttles, to help land commercial planes safely in case of engine failure or loss of control.
Not a new material but is likely to be used for countless applications in the future. Great ideas will come out of these buckyball sheets I guess. Bring it on.
Cool. “Our biggest current challenge is embedding these smart sensors into a flexible and compliant material that can expand as the modules are inflated in space,” Kim says.
Now that sounds like a good application for buckypaper. According to this it can be used as a lightweight heat shield that can stand up to the impact of hypersonic speeds.
