A use for graphene

In desalination of all things, my favourite physics discovery this millennium, it cost billions and a machine so big it fits in two countries to discover the higgs boson...

graphene, on the other hand, was discovered using a pencil, paper and some sellotape lifting a monotonic layer of carbon off the paper with the sellotape, electrons all fall into the plane creating the universe's first two dimensional thing, and yes, actually a thing, not "a thing"

Graphene is a film of carbon, one atom thick, all joined up in hexagons like a honeycomb, one big molecule macro size, like a diamond

Carbon is generally the cleverest of all atoms, life would be impossible without it
