The wonder material Graphene – a two-dimensional layer one atom thick – could be poised to replace silicon technology as the backbone of the mobile technology industry. The material, successfully isolated using a lead pencil and sticky tape back in 2002 by Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov won them the Nobel Prize in 2010. The incredible strength, near-transparency, conductivity and flexibility of the material make it perfect for technological applications like mobile devices. IBM has just demoed a graphene-based integrated circuit that functions 10,000 times better than their previous attempts.
