Neither of the earlier observations was sufficient to launch the "graphene gold rush" that awaited macroscopic samples of extracted atomic planes. One of the first patents pertaining to the production of graphene was filed in October 2002 and granted in 2006. [24] It detailed one of the first large scale graphene production processes.
Geim was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Konstantin Novoselov for his work on graphene. [21] [22] He is Regius Professor of Physics and Royal Society Research Professor at the National Graphene Institute. Geim was previously awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in 2000 for levitating a frog using its intrinsic magnetism. He is the ...
In 2015, a coiled form of graphene was discovered in graphitic carbon (coal). The spiraling effect is produced by defects in the material's hexagonal grid that causes it to spiral along its edge, mimicking a Riemann surface, with the graphene surface approximately perpendicular to the axis. When voltage is applied to such a coil, current flows ...
The proportion of companies has grown from just 15 at the launch of the Graphene Flagship to roughly 50% of the consortium today. In its efforts to further shift the focus to industrial applications, the Graphene Flagship has launched the 2D Experimental Pilot Line which is the first foundry (factory to process graphene into shapes) to ...
2004: Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov isolated graphene, a monolayer of carbon atoms, and studied its quantum electrical properties. 2005: Grid cells in the brain are discovered by Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser. 2010: The first self-replicating, synthetic bacterial cells are constructed.

American Larry Brown and Anita Hansen, from Denmark, were strangers who met on the Eiffel Tower in 1989 and became friends, kickstarting an unexpected love story.
The electronic properties of graphene are significantly influenced by the supporting substrate. [59] [60] The Si(100)/H surface does not perturb graphene's electronic properties, whereas the interaction between it and the clean Si(100) surface changes its electronic states significantly. This effect results from the covalent bonding between C ...
A new species of dinosaur has been identified more than a decade after a large number of ancient skeletons were found in Spain -- and researchers expect more species to be discovered. The ...
