Graphene is a carbon material that got a Nobel prize for physics for its inventors in 2010. It was extracted from graphite (found in pencils) and has just one atom thickness. The Nobelprize.org says about Graphene: " Graphene is a form of carbon. As a material it is completely new – not only the thinnest ever but also the strongest. As a conductor of electricity it performs as well as copper. As a conductor of heat it outperforms all other known materials. It is almost completely transparent, yet so dense that not even helium, the smallest gas atom, can pass through it. Carbon, the basis of all known life on earth, has surprised us once again." Graphene and Computers: Recent research shows that Graphene could make computer chips upto 1000 to 10,000 times faster and 100 times smaller. In the near future Graphene might replace Silicone.
