Abstract
The paper presents the properties and applications of graphene, focused on the results obtained by the author. Because in graphene the charge carriers satisfy a massless Dirac equation, it can serve as testing material for several predictions of highenergy physics. Graphene applications are based on its unique mechanical, optical and electrical properties, which generally lead to devices with superior performances compared to those fabricated with other materials. However, to fully benefit from the distinctive properties of graphene, novel device configurations should be searched for instead of implementing common devices.
