    tried to fix the wording in the Idea-section; added cross-link with quantum spin Hall effect

    added pointer to the original prediction of the electronic band structure of graphene:

    and pointer to this modern review:

    • Nathan O Weiss, Hailong Zhou, Lei Liao, Yuan Liu, Shan Jiang, Yu Huang, Xiangfeng Duan, Graphene: an emerging electronic material, Adv Mater. 24 (43) (2012) 5782-825 (doi:10.1002/adma.201201482)

    Also adjusted and moved the sentence on the discovery winning a Nobel Prize and not being patented.

    added this sentence to the Idea-section:


    Graphene is a prime example (and among the first to be discovered) of a topological phase of matter, specifically of a topological semi-metal (if its tiny spin-orbit coupling is ignored or remains unresolved, hence for all practical purposes) or a topological insulator (theoretically, due to the tiny spin-orbit coupling that does open the gap in the electronic band structure at the would-be nodal point).

    I have added pointer to the previously missing second article by Kane & Mele from 2005, and expanded the paragraph (here) which alluded to their insight.
