We're entering the graphene age. This material holds promise to absolutely disrupt many industries. It's easy to isolate, and work on isolating and characterizing it earned Geim and Novoselov the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. Solor panels with graphene can produce more electricity, computer screens can be shatterproof, and water filtration can be improved. Graphene is one of the most conductive materials ever observed and may be just the change we need in modern batteries, which has potential to remove the power supply bottleneck in personal technology.
