We should also note that a large number of papers by Geim and Novoselov are freely available through the arXiv server. Including some interesting descriptions of the properties of graphene.

Graphene was first discovered in the 1960s, but its unusual electronic properties, and therefore importance, was not recognized until recently. The early history was described in an essay<http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201004096/abstract> in Angewandte Chemie two weeks ago.
