I couldn't extract a compressive strength from the information in
the article. Help, anyone?<br>

has a graphene structure with compressive strength of 361 MPa. <br>
<br>
However, according to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.zeitnews.org/node/2449">http://www.zeitnews.org/node/2449</a> (which
discusses a folded form that has even higher compressive strength)
the compressive strength of "real" graphene is less than 2 GPa. <span
style="font-size: medium;">“As is well known, graphene can’t
withstand any compression,” one researcher says - but that is
presumably a unidirectional compression rather than an uniform
one.</span><br>
