Since it was first isolated in 2004, graphene, a sheet of pure carbon just one atom thick, has generated a flurry of research activities. Although much of the initial 'gold rush' has focused on the fascinating properties of this two-dimensional crystal1 — which have as much to do with fundamental quantum electrodynamics and particle physics as with solid state physics and materials science — researchers have recently begun addressing the more mundane question of how some of these characteristics might be harnessed in applications ranging from post-Moore's law electronics over ultra-responsive sensors and actuators to transparent solar cell contacts.
