Fascination with this material stems from its remarkable physical properties and the potential applications these properties offer for the future. SinceUnlessHoweverAlthough Although scientists knew one atom thick, two-dimensional crystal graphene existed, no-one had workedworksworkingwork had worked out how to extract it from graphite. That was until it was isolated in 2004 by two researchers at The University of Manchester, Professor Andre Geim and Professor Kostya Novoselov. This is the story of how that stunning scientific feat came about and why Andre and Kostya won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their pioneering work. Andre and Kostya frequently held 'Friday night experiments' - sessions where they would try out experimental science that wasn’t necessarilyfullysolelyindirectly necessarily linked to their day jobs.
