4. THE RIGHT STUFF: The space elevator’s tether could be built soon using lightweight, ultra-strong materials such as single crystal graphene, hexagonal boron nitride or carbon nanotubes.

Abstract

The article focuses on the potential of building a space elevator using lightweight and ultra-strong materials such as single crystal graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, or carbon nanotubes. Topics include the need for a tether material with high tensile strength to support the elevator, the challenges of manufacturing such materials on an industrial scale, and the progress being made in producing graphene as a viable candidate for the space elevator tether.
