This Material Will Power the Future — If Somebody Can Profit From It

The single-atom-thin flake of graphite, once isolated, was found to possess a revolutionary array of properties: electrical conductivity 100 times faster than silicon; strength 200 times greater than steel; astounding optical and thermal characteristics. When the scientific world at large came to fully appreciate what Geim and Novoselov had done, it awarded them the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010. Investors and companies alike – from Samsung to IBM and Intel – began to imagine all of graphene’s very lucrative applications.
