The article focuses on the mechanical, electronic and structural properties of graphene. Graphene is characterized by a single layer of carbon atoms packed in a honeycomb structure. It also discusses the widespread interest among researchers for the planar form of carbon stems found in graphene, as a host of potential commercial applications and other scientific discoveries.
