Graphene, a very thin form of graphite, can be as little as one atom thick. In this podcast, SRI's Kathryn Todd describes how graphene's transparency and high electronic mobility make it a very attractive transparent conductor. Todd explains how graphene has the potential to become an important future component in the touch screen of your smart phone, certain kinds of photovoltaic cells, or any electronic device where light has to get in or out through a conducting layer.
