By analyzing articles and patent in particle physics from 1999 to 2008, combined with qualitative research, this paper describes
the international development trend of particle physics. The results show that particle physics research mainly distribute on the United States, Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia, China, Switzerland, France, Britain and India. The three frontiers of particle physics is energy frontier, intensity frontier，cosmic frontier. The future development trend of particle physics is to solve ten scientific problems.

Graphene was first successfully isolated by scientists at the University of Manchester, UK in 2004. Because of its excellent mechanical, thermal, electrical and magnetic properties, graphene has recently become one of research focuses in fields of material science and condensed matter physics. With the ongoing research on its preparation and properties research, graphene is gaining more and more applications. In this paper, through analysis of related international research projects, scientific progress and SCI papers, the international development trends of graphene were discussed; finally, some countermeasures and proposals for developing graphene materials and relative technologies in China were suggested.
