39. The linear dimensions of existing suspended graphene samples reaches size of a couple of millimeters (see Geim, Ref.) which is well above the requirements of up-to-date Casimir experiments (Ref.). Also, the current precision of these experiments is better than fractions of a percent, which is enough to detect the Casimir interaction of graphene.
