Miner Ends Quest for Gold to Unearth Strongest Material in World

Mark Thompson dumped his plans for a gold mine to pursue a fortune in graphite, the same stuff used in pencils for centuries.

Thompson’s Talga Resources Ltd. plans to convert high-grade graphite from Sweden into a material called #graphene, which is stronger than steel, conducts electricity better than copper and is so light and flexible that companies like #Samsung Electronics Co. are using it to develop new devices.
