Hydrodynamic cavitation-inducing inertial, non-inertial, and combination reactors are employed in the hydrothermal synthesis of graphene and its derivatives, both in solution and vapor. Various hydrodynamic cavitation reactor embodiments are revealed. Water is used to both nucleate and "self-heal" graphene sheet growth in solution and vapor. Various methods of combustion, hydrothermal and dehydration synthesis of graphene and its derivatives are revealed. Additionally, water and ice are used as a substrate, both alone and in combination with other substrates, to grow and recover useful graphene and its derivatives.

Structures, systems, and methods verify the authenticity of a precious metal unit. A "ping bar" is designed to have a distinctive sound only if authentic and unadulterated. A "waffle bar" is shaped to discourage adulteration, damage, or counterfeiting and to facilitate easy core sampling and assay of the constituent metal's purity. Reeded edge features may additionally be employed to discourage tampering. An RFID device and a global registry system verify various attributes and ownership of the precious metal units.
