Andre Geim：Wonder Materials at Tencent WE Summit

Join us on a captivating journey into the world of graphene and atomically-thin crystals at the Tencent WE Summit. Sir Andre Geim, winner of the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics and the “Father of Graphene”, described in his speech how he and his colleagues had discovered this one-atom-thick material using a simple technique called “tearing off by sellotape”.
Particular materials were essential steps in the development of civilization. Humanity moved from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age to the Iron Age, and now we’re living arguably in the age of plastic and silicon. Sir Andre Geim predicts the next stage could be the age of two-dimensional materials based on the nearly infinite range of possible applications of graphene.
