Graphene, the revolutionary 2D material isolated at The University of Manchester could change the world as dramatically as the Industrial Revolution did. A revolutionary material needs a revolutionary place to grow. Manchester has always been the birthplace for revolutionary ideas. It was the centre of the industrial revolution. It is the home of the world’s first railway and where Britain’s first canal was built. Where the atom was split, the contraceptive pill was created, modern computing was born 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 graphene and discovered the vast range of qualities it possessed. 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.
