Graphene.

Graphene is extracted from graphite. The term graphenewas coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene. Using regular adhesive tape, the scientists were able to isolate a single one-atom thick layer of the substance. In addition to being strong, lightweight, and flexible, the crystalline material was found to be an excellent conductor of electricity.
