The fact that you can just add materials for specific purposes, such as strength or conductivity, and customize a material for it's use. It reminds me of the Capital One commercials where you customize your credit card. In terms of "the next thing", someone will probably stumble upon the "perfect" combination or combination method. Some day I'll bet we will have some sort of "Universal Material" that we use for just about everything. I just think it’s amazing how the chemistry of composite materials works.

Another example that you don't stop learning. I didn't know that fiberglass was there in 1940 already let alone that they composited it with other materials and cars. So it's Carbon these days. I wonder what comes next. Interesting article, full of surprises for me. Another example that you don’t stop learning.
