Graphene@Manchester …beyond the sticky tape
1) Researchers at the University of Manchester isolated graphene in 2004 and were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for their work. 2) Plans were announced in 2013 and 2014 to build the £61m National Graphene Institute and £60m Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre to further research and commercialize graphene. 3) The document outlines ongoing graphene research at Manchester in areas such as energy storage, membranes, composites, printing, and 2D materials beyond graphene, as well as production methods and potential applications of graphene.
