In the context of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developing the 3D version of Graphene, consider the following statements
1) Graphene is one of the strongest materials known to man, but so far because of its extreme thinness it was not able for practical use.
2) The 3D version is lightweight, only 5% as dense as steel but is 10 times stronger. This development could lead production of more lighter, stronger materials.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
