Science Lunch - Graphene And The Unexpected Science In A Pencil Line

Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch then sit back and listen to Dr. Aravind Vijayaraghavan, Lecturer in Nanomaterials at the University of Manchester as he introduces you to graphene, the world’s first 2-dimensional material.

Discover the superlative properties of graphene, its strength, conductivity, flexibility and transparency.

Find out how it can be made, even by you, using a piece of pencil lead and a roll of sticky tape and crucially, hear about the exciting future prospects for this wonder material.
