About The University Of Manchester Graphene
Graphene, the revolutionary 2D material isolated at The University of Manchester could change the world as dramatically as the Industrial Revolution did.
The University Of Manchester Graphene Description
Manchester has always been the birthplace for revolutionary ideas. It was the centre of the industrial revolution and most recently, where the graphene story began.
It was here in 2004, at The University of Manchester, that Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov first isolated the one-atom thick material from graphite and discovered the vast range of qualities it possessed.
It is at the University that more than 200 researchers have chosen to carry out their work in graphene and 2D materials.
Working alongside a range of companies The University of Manchester is at the forefront of commercialisation and developing practical applications utilising the vast benefits of graphene.
