Quick story

Graphene is a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. The discovery of graphene has been rewarded with Nobel Prize, in 2010 to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov. It is real and has already been produced from graphite, the scale of production still remains the main restriction.

Most of the research is still at the early stage and graphene products have not yet reached the masses in commercial use, however there is a big push for investment into graphene.

Graphene, even though being the thinnest material ever, is super strong. Graphene may at first sound like science fiction, with all it's declared super attributes in many areas. Those include:

Graphene adds efficiency to artificial photosynthesis

Korean scientists have proven higher efficiency by combining graphene itself in the process of artificial photosynthesis. Graphene figures here as a photo-catalyst. This can be used to produce fine chemicals/fuels made with solar energy.
