GRAPHENE
Graphene
Graphene is a crystalline form of carbon, alongside diamond, graphite, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. In this material, carbon atoms are arranged in a regular hexagonal pattern. Graphene can be described as a one-atom thick layer of graphite. High-quality graphene is very strong, light, nearly transparent and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. Its interactions with other materials and with light and its inherently two-dimensional nature produce unique properties.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Graphene
