Graphene, Nobel Prize and All that Jazz

Graphene, a single atomic layer of graphite, first isolated in 2004, has made a quantum leap in the exploration of the physics of two-dimensional electron systems. Since the initial report of its discovery, many thousands of papers have been published, attempting to explain every aspect of the exotic electronic properties of this system. The graphene euphoria has culminated with the 2010 Nobel Prize in physics being awarded jointly to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov of the University of Manchester, UK, "for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene". But, what are the properties of graphene, and how was it made? Why it is so exciting for so many researchers, and why the Nobel Prize?
