Imagine a material so thin that it consists of a single layer of atoms, yet it possesses strength, flexibility, and electrical properties that outmatch those of materials thousands of times thicker.

As computer researchers have probed further into graphene's structure and capabilities, it's become clear that while the material has amazing potential, it may never be suited for conventional logic ...
