Graphene and other Dirac (semi)metals provide an experimentally accessible playground for the host of (pseudo) relativistic phenomena that would otherwise be hard or impossible to observe in nature. This discussion reviews some of those peculiar behaviors that can be probed in transport, tunneling, photoemission, and other measurements.
