Until recently it had been extremely difficult to experimentally address one of the most fundamental questions about graphene: How do the quasiparticles behave in neutral graphene, i.e. when the chemical potential coincides with the Dirac point energy? Here we address this question by investigating graphene on a particularly interesting substrate, the carbon face of SiC, with high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We present the first direct measurements of the self-energy in graphene near the neutrality point, and show that the many-body physics in graphene differ from those of an ordinary metal. These exciting findings set a new benchmark in our understanding of many-body physics in graphene and a variety of novel materials with Dirac fermions.
