The Nano  Graphene Platelets (NGP) material discovered in 2004 has been studied for a number of years. It has many of the same characteristics as Carbon Nano  Tubes (CNT) and other carbon particles; NGPs overall performance equals or exceeds most application performances when compared with any other Nano  particles.

Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale  (http://www.nano.gov/html/facts/whatIsNano.html)
