Graphene is an ultra thin (just one layer of atoms) material made from carbon. It’s very very durable for it’s weight so it’s a potential candidate for many future technologies (space elevator and the likes). It also has some pretty unique electrical properties.

I don’t know why it’s buzzing right now. In the world of science and technology it was a buzzword back in 2004 when it was discovered or in 2010 when it won a nobel prize.
