Graphene semiconductor: Scientists have created the world's first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a major breakthrough because it will have huge implications for the electronics industry and quantum world. Graphene is a two-dimensional form of crystalline carbon that exists either as a single layer of carbon atoms forming a honeycomb or hexagonal lattice, or as several coupled layers of the hexagonal structure. However, when one mentions graphene, they mostly refer to the
