Graphene is a rapidly rising star on the horizon of materials science
and condensed-matter physics. This strictly two-dimensional material
exhibits exceptionally high crystal and electronic quality, and,
despite its short history, has already revealed a cornucopia of new
physics and potential applications, which are briefly discussed here.
Whereas one can be certain of the realness of applications only when
commercial products appear, graphene no longer requires any further
proof of its importance in terms of fundamental physics. Owing to
its unusual electronic spectrum, graphene has led to the emergence
of a new paradigm of 'relativistic' condensed-matter physics, where
quantum relativistic phenomena, some of which are unobservable in
high-energy physics, can now be mimicked and tested in table-top
experiments. More generally, graphene represents a conceptually new
class of materials that are only one atom thick, and, on this basis,
offers new inroads into low-dimensional physics that has never ceased
to surprise and continues to provide a fertile ground for applications.
