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:

Quick charge and discharge with graphene

With use of graphene in batteries, we could have 10x faster charge and discharge. Those are the aspects regular batteries are not handling very well today. Especially those in electric cars and mobiles would benefit from this development big time.
