如何在家自制石墨烯（video+text）

Andre Geim和Konstantin Novoselov因为对二维材料石墨烯的奠基性实验而获得2010年诺贝尔物理学奖。物理学者兼电视主持人Jonathan Hare在两段科学普及视频中展示了如何在家自制这种材料，并且解释了为什么石墨烯有价值。

(PhysOrg.com) -- In a video that communicates science achievements to people of all backgrounds, physicist and TV presenter Jonathan Hare explains how to make graphene from a graphite pencil and a piece of Scotch tape. The simple experiment shows how, in addition to being Nobel Prize-worthy material, graphene is also easily accessible for anyone with a scientific curiosity.

The video was developed as an initiative of COST (European Collaboration forScience and Technology), an intergovernmental association promoting joint science research, with aid from The Vega Science Trust, a science video communication charity.

This past October, the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov from Manchester University for their work ongraphene.

The video on how to make graphene at home is one of two videos (both shown below) explaining the amazing properties of the material. Hare has previously appeared on the BBC program “Rough Science” and now runs the Creative Science Centre in Sussex.
