Yes, materials, by nature, are 3D, but this one is the thinnest of them all. It’s also super-conductive, super flexible and makes steel look like a 90-lb weakling. At one atom thick, Graphene is the newest in materials being studied for applications in high-speed computers and other nanotechnology.

It’s a material that was first discovered in 2004, but since then, scientist have found new ways of adhering it to copper foil and most recently to silicon wafers using an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solution allowing the Graphene to be detached. Why is this interesting?
