D. Torrent et al.

The authors showed theoretically and experimentally that a simple sheet of plastic, structured appropriately, exhibits wave behavior that is an exact analog of electron motion in a sheet of graphene. This opens the door to even more new and interesting ways of manipulating wave propagation in simple systems and offers an experimental analog of an exotic system.
