Scientists, Sir Andre Konstantin Geim and Sir Konstantin Sergeevich Novoselov, both born in Russia, physics professors at the University of Manchester, discovered (in 2003.) an amazing material of the 21st century - called graphene. They were awarded, in 2010, the Nobel Prize in Physics for their work.
In simple terms, graphene, is a thin layer of pure carbon; it is a single, tightly packed layer of carbon atoms that are bonded together in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice.
In more complex terms, it is an allotrope of carbon in the structure of a plane of sp2 bonded atoms with a molecule bond . *

4. Types:  Carbon has two major isotopes, C-12 and C-14, which have 6 and 8 neutrons respectively Diamonds   (The earliest diamonds were found in India in 4th century BC)      Graphite (before 1565.)      Buckminsterfullerene or "bucky balls" ,(in 1985.) are super strong and tiny carbon spheres 4

It's a supermaterial that is quietly changing the course of technology.
Here's why you should get exited about it:
* It Will Turn Computers Into Transformers
graphene can be changed into different configurations
on the fly by simply manipulating it with lasers
* Your Smartphone Will Get Even Smarter
Different sheets could handle different functions at the same time
in the space of a tiny sheet of paper
* Your Batteries will Charge in Seconds
it charged in seconds
* Your Internet Connection Will Be One Million Times Faster
an antenna that can transfer an entire terabit of data in one second

7. 7 * You'll Know Your Blood Composition in Real Time
for uses in medicine as it could act as a great bioelectric sensor
to monitor things like glucose levels, cholesterol, and DNA sequencing
* Your Water Will Taste Awesome
it could also be used as an ultrafiltration medium
to filter water supplies or even desalinate water
* Your Shirt Will Charge your Laptop
Just, you know, plug your laptop into your shirt
and you're good to go. 7

Some possible applications of graphene:
* Mega-fast uploads
a whole terabit, in just one second
* Plug your phone
five seconds for all charged up
* Graphene could potentially clump together radioactive waste.

* Improve tennis game
HEAD and Novak introduced the new HEAD Graphene ™ Speed racquet
* Water everywhere drop drinkable
graphene filter covered in tiny holes just big enough to let water through and small enough
to keep salt out, making salt water safe for consumption
* Touchscreens that use graphene as their conductor
super thin, unbreakable touchscreens
* Bionic devices in living tissues
people with spinal injuries, for example, could re-learn how to use their limbs 8 8

9. Cheaper production of graphene in a couple of years

Manufacturing method
Cheaper production of graphene in a couple of years
* The production of high quality graphene at a very low cost.
* Fall from the current € 1,200 to just 1 € apiece.
* Chemical vapor deposition of methane on a copper plate.
* Production of high-quality graphene 10 hours → 60 minutes. 9 9

Serbian-French bilateral project for period Vinca GRAPHENE group
* The goal of this project is to produce graphene layers and graphene nanoribbons with high mobility of charge carriers, low resistance, zero grain boundaries and minimum defects in graphene structure.
* Researchers at the University of Belgrade in Serbia have built the world’s first graphene-based condenser microphone, A proof of concept: microphone constructed with a graphene membrane has been found to be more sensitive than conventional microphones. 10 10
