Wrong section, but interesting.
 
I read through the actual white paper Zhou and Zettl presented --- it's a nice concept that definitely has good potential, but these are material science grad students, rather than acoustic engineers; they don't really understand acoustics well enough to really say that this [essentially a graphene orthodynamic] driver is "better" undamped and unmodified. The methods they use to quantify and qualify the driver's response are relatively primitive and it'll be up to the actual audio firms to look into this technology and make it work.

Damn, I swore I opened the right forum when I was trying to post.  I must have been distracted - my apologies.
