CAJ #13 - Last but not least

Graphene. It is an amazing material, one that will change the world and make us question everything we have known so far about science. Researchers around the globe are experimenting with graphene every day, always finding something new and exciting about it. Graphene opened up the doors for 2D materials, materials that up until now only excited in theory. The time of graphene and other 2D materials is yet to come and I hope that you are, as much as I am, anxious to see what it will bring us.

I truly hope that you had fun while reading my CAJ, that you learned something new and are as thrilled as I am about graphene and its impact on us and our future.
