1 Atom thick material

In novels, movies, and everything else science fiction, One Atom thick material is used for all sorts of things. According to an article at SpaceDaily it appears this is no longer just the realm of science fiction, but it is science fact.

According to Dr Kostya Novoselov:
"Although some of the applications are probably decades away, I expect to see ultra-fast transistors, micromechanical devices and nano-sensors based on the discovered one-atom-thick crystals already in a few years time."

This is cool on so many differnt levels.

Note: I had it pointed out to me this morning that I had the subject spelled Think instead of thick. bid difference... sorry
