Graphene is a zero-gap semiconductor, because its conduction and valence bands meet at the Dirac points.

How can I decipher all of what you said? Can I ask Meryl Streep or Tom Hanks? They're always talking like they know stuff. /s

(I was an IT engineer for decades before retiring, was asked by receptionists and others if they could get my job after taking a course or two at the local community college. I would laugh in their faces, and say no...)

It is really quite simple to explain. (After all, Einstein said that if you can’t explain it simply then you don’t really understand it.) The simple explanation is that I copied and pasted that out of wiki a couple of years ago and have kept it around for whenever graphene comes up. Now you know as much about it as I do.
