one dimensional = nanotube (technically 3D, but still)
two dimensional = graphene
Three dimensional = ?

Missed the first paragraph:

**********************************************

The discovery of what is essentially a 3D version of graphene – the 2D sheets of carbon through which electrons race at many times the speed at which they move through silicon – promises exciting new things to come for the high-tech industry, including much faster transistors and far more compact storage devices.

This is frustrating as supposed scientists plainly ignore a dimension for headline grabbing press. Graphene and nano tubes both have three dimensions. It doesn't matter that one dimension is small.

Haven't seen you for a while Ernest.

Glad to see you back.
