I know that graphene is a far more superb conductor than copper, but I'm trying to compare their weight difference. I mean, let's take an example: A copper busbar that is 7kg with resistance of 2 micro-Ω can carry a lot of current(in kA), I assume a much lighter(possible less than a kg) graphene conductor can conduct the same current range and is much much lighter?

Trying to grasp more about this amazing material.
