A developing technology using an ultra-thin layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb structure could start revolutionizing consumer electronics and many other industries in less than five years. Known as “graphene,” the material’s special strength and conductivity make it an ideal component of super-fast, very sensitive and low-cost devices. Graphene is already being produced in enough quantities to support research and development projects; applications will include consumer products, security devices and health and safety applications.
