Graphene has shown unprecedented physical and chemical properties since it was purified in 2004 by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov (Novoselov et al., 2004). These... 

One remarkable recent development has been chemistry s migration from three to two dimensions. The common pencilfilling material graphite is a form of the element carbon in which the carbon atoms form flat sheets like chicken wire that, when impurities are present, slide over each other perhaps to be left as a mark on a page or to act as a lubricant. The individual sheets are called graphene, and the fact that they can be plucked off solid graphite by a very simple procedure helped to earn Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov the 2010 Nobel Prize (for physics).

The Nobel Prize in Physics 2010 honors two scientists who have made the decisive contributions to this development. They are Andre K. Geim and Konstantin S. Novoselov, both at the University of Manchester, UK. They have succeeded in producing, isolating, identifying, and characterizing graphene [2].

Graphene research has expanded quickly. Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 for groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene [4].
