Extreme Impact Protection Doesn’t Have to Be Bulky

How Graphene Came to Be

Graphene is a basic building block of graphite. Scientists became aware of it over a century ago, and they’ve been studying its atomic structure

and trying to figure out how to extract and utilize it ever since.

 

Graphene was finally isolated in 2004 by scientistsAndre Geim and Konstantin

Novoselov at the University of Manchester. They even got the Nobel Prize in Physics for it in 2010.
