TL;DR: Graphene is the first example of truly two-dimensional crystals - it's just one layer of carbon atoms as mentioned in this paper and it turns out that graphene is a gapless semiconductor with unique electronic properties resulting from the fact that charge carriers in graphene obey linear dispersion relation.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that highly purified and thoroughly washed GO neither inhibited nor stimulated the growth of E.coli nor stimulatedThe findings emphasise the importance of GO purification status when dealing with biological systems as the true effect of material can be masked by the impact of impurities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe probes of a local electric field, which are capable of detecting an electric charge as small as the charge of one electron e, operational under ambient conditions and having a spatial resolution down to 100nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report that graphene-coating on biological samples enables non-destructive high-resolution imaging by EM as well as chemical analysis by EDS, utilizing graphene's transparency to electron beams.

TL;DR: The fabrication and use of different oxidised graphene-based ‘papers’ as substrates for cell culture, using starting materials of different thickness and lateral dimensions suggest that substrates based on graphite and graphene oxide papers are suitable biocompatible cellular supports for anchorage-dependent cell growth.
