SUMMARY:"Drawing conclusions from graphene"
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Antonio Castro Neto\, Boston University\n\nPart of th
	e Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract: Graphene\, a one
	 atom thick layer of graphite\, was isolated only a few years ago and has g
	enerated a lot of interest in basic science and technology. Graphene is a s
	emi-metal whose elementary excitations are Dirac fermions with very unsual 
	electronic properties such as anomalous quantum Hall effect\, absence of sc
	reening\, strong sensitivity to disorder\, just to mention some. Furthermor
	e\, the electronic properties of graphene can be manipulated with the use o
	f external electrical and magnetic fields making of graphene a very flexibl
	e material for device applications. In this seminar I will review the basic
	 properties of graphene and describe the latest developments in one of the 
	fastest growing fields in condensed matter research.
