Graphene becomes superconductive—Electrons with 'no mass' flow with 'no resistance'
Graphene is a single-atomic carbon sheet with a hexagonal honeycomb network (Fig. 1). Electrons in graphene take a special electronic state called Dirac-cone where they behave as if they have no mass. This allows them to ...
