From the introduction: "Graphene is the thinnest electronic material, merely one atom thick, with very high carrier mobilities, and therefore it should enable transistors operating at very high frequencies. Here, we present field-effect transistors (FETs) fabricated on a 2-inch graphene wafer with a cutoff frequency in the radio frequency range, as high as 100 GHz."
