According to this article from ScienceNOW, scientists at Northwestern University have found a way to make particles of graphene oxide assemble into thin, paper-like sheets as strong as carbon nanotubes, and which can be scaled to any size. It does tend to lose stability when immersed in water (much like kevlar does, IIRC), and thus commercial production is many years away, at least. The potential uses, though, are many (space elevator, anyone). And, as one Slashdot commentor posed, "Just imagine what Yomiko Readman could do with that paper!"
