TL;DR: An overview of the key aspects of graphene and related materials, ranging from fundamental research challenges to a variety of applications in a large number of sectors, highlighting the steps necessary to take GRMs from a state of raw potential to a point where they might revolutionize multiple industries are provided.

TL;DR: It is shown that the two-dimensional nature of graphene oxide and its superpermeability to water combine to enable humidity sensors with unprecedented response speed (∼30 ms response and recovery times), which opens the door to various applications, such as touchless user interfaces, which is demonstrated with a 'whistling' recognition analysis.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical constants of graphene in the visible range can be estimated by means of a very simple procedure involving their consistence with universal optical conductivity and experimentally measured optical spectra, within the framework of Fresnel coefficients calculation.

TL;DR: This work presents an uncooled, mid-infrared photodetector, where the pyroelectric response of a LiNbO3 crystal is transduced with high gain into resistivity modulation for graphene, leading to TCRs up to 900% K−1 and the ability to resolve temperature variations down to 15 μK.

TL;DR: The fabrication and characterization of Near-Field Communication devices based on highly flexible, carbon-based antennas composed of stacked graphene multilayers, matching the performance of standard, commercial metallic antennas are described.
