1. A method of making a composite material comprising:
depositing a plurality of fullerenes on a first graphene sheet forming a bottom plate;
placing a second graphene sheet forming a top plate on a top of the plurality of fullerenes; and
fusing the plurality of fullerenes to the first graphene sheet forming the bottom plate and the second graphene sheet forming the top plate, wherein the plurality of fullerenes are converted to fullerene-derived carbon columns, and wherein the composite material comprises a tensile strength in an x-axis parallel to a plane of the graphene sheets of at least 20 GPa.
