== SI Units Pleeaaassseeee ==
Can this article be edited so as to represent all quantities in SI units ? This will make the quantitative data more useable by a wider readership. Most scientists and engineers use SI units nowadays (and have done so for many decades).

I would also like to comment on the inappropriate metaphor 'honey comb'. A honey-comb is a 3 dimensional structure, while the graphene structure is 2-dimensional. This makes the metaphore misleading. The use of a metaphor is anyway unnecessary since a straight-forwardly factual description is readily available; simply describe the structure as a planar array of interlocking hexagons (benzene rings).

Graphene quantum dots - for consideration

SI Units Pleeaaassseeee

Can this article be edited so as to represent all quantities in SI units ? This will make the quantitative data more useable by a wider readership. Most scientists and engineers use SI units nowadays (and have done so for many decades).

I would also like to comment on the inappropriate metaphor 'honey comb'. A honey-comb is a 3 dimensional structure, while the graphene structure is 2-dimensional. This makes the metaphore misleading. The use of a metaphor is anyway unnecessary since a straight-forwardly factual description is readily available; simply describe the structure as a planar array of interlocking hexagons (benzene rings).
