Scientists at the University of Manchester are working on a material called Graphene, which they claim could revolutionise the IT and electronics industry. The material, which is just one atom thick, could see smartphones, tablets and PCs work much faster as a result of experiments that have shown high electron mobility through the material at room temperature. Graphene is made from carbon, and is considered a two-dimensional (2D) material as it is just one atom thick. The material was discovered by scientists at the University of Manchester in 2004 and Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov who worked with the material were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010 "for their groundbreaking experiments" using the material. Professor Geim said of the electron mobility experiment: "The progress has been possible due to a quantum leap in the sample quality that could be produced at The University of Manchester."
