From the page: "University of Maryland physicists have shown that in graphene the intrinsic limit to the mobility, a measure of how well a material conducts electricity, is higher than any other known material at room temperature. Graphene, a single-atom-thick sheet of graphite, is a new material which combines aspects of semiconductors and metals."

So as it turns out electrons can travel 100 times faster in grapheme than in silicon! While this doesn't mean much for our traditional computer systems, as far as I know, it has great potentially to be used in new ways in lots of bio-medical hardware and advanced computer systems we haven't yet built. I can imagine AI will be one of them. Technology is no longer taking baby steps.
