Abstract
Graphene is a two-dimensional crystalline structure consisting of densely packed carbon atoms in a hexagonal pattern. Graphene is strong, nearly transparent, and is an excellent conductor of both heat and electricity. As such it has found many applications such as theoretical drug delivery systems and new transistors many times faster than modern silicone transistors. In 2010 Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work in graphene. Following their methods numerous samples of graphene were created using household sticky tape. In addition samples of reduced graphite oxide were created focusing intense light onto graphite oxide samples. This method produced large enough samples to create capacitors from.
