DESCRIPTION:_Abstract:_ When one writes with a pencil\, thin flakes of gra
 phite are left on the surface. Some of them are only one atom thick and ca
 n be viewed as individual atomic planes extracted from bulk graphite. Unti
 l two years ago\, this strictly 2D material called graphene was presumed n
 ot to exist. I will discuss our work on graphene concentrating on its elec
 tronic properties\, \nwhich are governed by relativistic quantum physics (
 QED) rather than the standard physics based on the Schrödinger equation.\
