Title PM speech at Manchester Science and Industry Museum Media name/outlet The Telegraph Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 27/07/19 Description Indeed when the University of Manchester’s Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov said they were planning to extract a single-atom-thick crystallites from bulk graphite - I hope I’ve got that right - to give us the super-light super-strong wonder that is Graphene…
I imagine that there were people who had no idea what difference it could make to their lives - and frankly people in this audience who have no idea,
Yet today, we stand on the cusp of the Graphene age, with applications in everything from de-icing of aircraft wings to life-saving medicine.
Their story of those pioneers is told here at the Science and Industry Museum, and it is one of the countless tales of Mancunian pioneers.
