In depth: How graphene could revolutionise the tech industry

Introduction and the flexible futureLike most good ideas, it all started with a pencil. Derived from the graphite that's been used to make the lead in your pencil for over 500 years, graphene has been hailed as the miracle material of the twenty-first century. It's the world's strongest, thinnest and most conductive material, but what is graphene and why is it so important? Theoretically possible since the 1940s, graphene was discovered and produced by Konstantin Novoselow and Andre Geim at the
