Graphene

Graphene is a one-atom-thick layer of carbon. Since it was first isolated in its freestanding form in 2004, it has become a playground for condensed-matter physicists and materials scientists. In this focus issue we review the brief but intense history of this material, as well as recent experimental observations that confirm the unusual and intriguing physical properties of this carbon sheet.
