Graphene, which consists of just one layer of carbon atoms, was discovered by scientists at the University of Manchester in 2004. The latest research showed that electrons - subelectronic particles - move quickly through the thin substance. Professor Kostya Novoselov told the Independent: 'Electrons in graphene have huge mobility, they travel very fast.
It not only promises to revolutionise semiconductor, sensor, and display technology, but could also lead to breakthroughs in fundamental quantum physics research. Scientists believe it could one day be used to make transparent conducting materials, biomedical sensors and even extremely light, yet strong, aircraft of the future.
