In October 2004 British and Russian scientists announced their discovery of the nanofabric graphene. With a thickness of just one single atom of carbon, graphene is similar to carbon nanotubes and buckyball carbon 60 molecules, but can exist as a single sheet of theoretically an infinite size. In March 2007 scientists announced the development of transistors made from this remarkable material.
