Carbon is processed into graphene, an exceptionally thin material valued for its strength and conductivity. Miniature mechanical and electrical components are assembled into a remarkably small functional car; calibrated sensors and loading mechanisms become machines for measuring force; and layers of paperboard, foil and plastic are formed into lightweight composite cans.

The show’s own verdict is on its page.
