Organic Compound Providing Rare Opportunity to Study Electrons that Behave as if they have no Mass

In most materials, electrons do follow this law of motion, such that the energy of an electron is proportional to the square of its momentum. There are only a few known 2D systems, notably graphene, where electrons behave in a fundamentally different way. They appear to have no mass when propagating through the material, so the relationship between their energy and momentum is linear.
