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.
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 ...
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 ...
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.

Huang created the glass by accident whilst making graphene, when she found that her graphene was actually composed from silicon and oxygen, the elements that constitute glass. [ 4 ] [ 7 ] This accidental discovery made it possible to identify the arrangement of atoms in glass for first time, and was included in the Guinness World Records .
Similar sandals found in Armenia are estimated to be 5,500 years old, while the shoes worn by “Ötzi the Iceman” — a prehistoric man found in Italy in 1991 — are dated to 5,300 years ago.
August — Nanotubes discovered in CVD by Al Harrington and Tom Maganas of Maganas Industries, leading to development of a method to synthesize monomolecular thin film nanotube coatings. [ 14 ] 1992 – First theoretical predictions of the electronic properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes by groups at Naval Research Laboratory , USA; [ 15 ...
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 ...
