So, just to clarify my own confusion. It's not actually "2D" it's that it's one atom thin, so that it might as well be 2D? Or am I mistaken, and it is actually 2D? Because what I am understanding is that it would still be a 3D atom? Or is there something that can explain this better. Thanks.

- sliverstorm 14y agoIt is 2D the same way your drawings on a whiteboard with a white-erase marker are 2D. The ink left by your pen has 3 dimensions, yes, but the drawing is for all intents and purposes 2D. It's the same with graphene. The sheets are composed of 3D atoms, but the structure of a sheet is for all intents and purposes 2D.
