Graphine is a sheet of carbon atoms, one atom thick. IE it is very, very thin so you can make capacitors very small or have many, many layers in the same space as today's devices but with significantly greater capacitance.

If Graphene behaves like Graphite then it conducts electricity between atoms in the sheet but not between sheets, so it sounds like an excellent material for capacitors.

... But don't cross the sheets otherwise very big bang.
