Graphene Does What? 15 Things You Never Knew About The Miracle Material
In 2004, scientists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, of the University of Manchester, discovered an allotrope of carbon on a 2-dimensional atomic scale. They unearthed this idea by sticking scotch tape onto pieces of graphite found in pencil lead, and peeling it off. Thus the name, ‘graphene’. Shortly after their discovery, it was found
