First Artificial Graphene has been Created by Researchers

The first artificial graphene has been created at the NEST laboratory of the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter (INFM-CNR) in Pisa. It is sculpted on the surface of a gallium-arsenide semiconductor, to which it grants the extraordinary properties of the original graphene.

Graphene Poised to Transform Electronics and Nanotechnology Landscape

Since its discovery just a few years ago, graphene has climbed to the top of the heap of new super-materials poised to transform the electronics and nanotechnology landscape. As N.J. Tao, a researcher at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University explains, this two dimensional honeycomb structure of carbon atoms is exceptionally strong and versatile.

Organic Compound Providing Rare Opportunity to Study Electrons that Behave as if they have no Mass

In most materials, electrons do follow this law of motion, such that the energy of an electron is proportional to the square of its momentum. There are only a few known 2D systems, notably graphene, where electrons behave in a fundamentally different way. They appear to have no mass when propagating through the material, so the relationship between their energy and momentum is linear.
