Graphene<\/strong> is a recently discovered new allotrope of Carbon, (Diamond and Graphite being the others) and the properties are now being hailed as a breakthrough in Condensed Matter Physics, and subsequently lead to the Nobel Prize for Physics being awarded to Professor Andre K Geim at The University of Manchester in 2010.<\/p>\n

The famous paper that made Professor Geim [http:\/\/arxiv.org\/ftp\/cond-mat\/papers\/0702\/0702595.pdf<\/a>] world famous.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0University of Manchester are leading the academic research & development into Graphene.<\/p>\n

Graphene itself is a remarkable material:-<\/p>\n

So famous in fact that Professor Geim was featured on BBC Radio Four’s “Desert Island Discs”<\/p>\n

With Graphene being hailed as the new semiconductor for the electronics industry, we are seeing new companies focussing their business of Graphene research and development.<\/p>\n

Recently The highly regarded University of Durham [www.durham.ac.uk<\/a>] spun out a company called Advance Graphene Materials:<\/p>\n
