A Key Term from Chapter One
Graphene:
pure carbon in the form of a very thin, nearly transparent sheet, one atom thick.Graphene is remarkably strong for its very low weight (about 100 times stronger than steel<2>) and it conducts heat and electricity with great efficiency.<3> While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab in 2003.<4> Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the bipolar transistor effect, ballistic transport of charges and large quantum oscillations. (Wikipedia)
