Britain wants to build a global graphene research center

The UK is advancing the commercialization of graphene, known as the “magic material”. The work will soon begin in a new national research institute, the National Graphene Research Institute (NGI), which will make the organization a world leader in graphene development and mining.

Graphene was discovered in 2004 and the study won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. The University of Manchester in the northwest of England is the first place to separate graphene, and the university will also be the location of a new institution with an investment of £61 million. At the same time, five other universities and some important companies will join in and work together on this important development plan.

Eight years ago, the two professors of the University of Manchester, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov, successfully separated the graphene material for the first time, which made the school the focus of graphene research.

In fact, scientists began this research in 1947 and proposed that free-form graphene is unstable, so its potential is also uncertain. The researchers at the two universities in Manchester later proved that when they were separated, graphene had the opposite nature and they were successful. This success is believed to herald a new starting point for the study of two-dimensional materials, particularly graphene. Geim and Novoselov won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their groundbreaking work.

The University of Manchester now predicts that graphene will "completely change the 21st century." Geim and Novoselov's scientific paper on the separation of graphene has enabled researchers from all over the world to learn how to make this material and to "hot" the work of exploring the unique electronic properties of graphene.

According to reports, graphene is a piece of carbon that is only one atom thick, or similar to graphite, which is the material of the "lead" core that constitutes a pencil, but it also has record-breaking mechanical strength and electronic properties.

A Manchester University spokesperson pointed out: "This is the thinnest material known, but it is also one of the hardest materials. Its electrical conductivity is comparable to that of copper, and its thermal conductivity outperforms all other materials. Graphene is almost It is completely transparent, but its density is so great that even the smallest helium atoms cannot pass through it."

Nowadays, countries are trying to commercialize graphene, and then obtain patents for potential applications in the industrial, technical and electronic fields. To this end, the UK has provided an investment of 50 million pounds in an effort to get this material into the production line and market from the laboratory in the coming decades. The UK's efforts to dominate the future of "magic material" will be planned by NGI, which is scheduled to be completed at the University of Manchester in 2015. The center will initially create about 100 jobs and is expected to create more jobs in the UK.

The 7600 square meter NGI will be equipped with state of the art facilities, including two clean rooms. Scientists can conduct experiments and research in clean rooms without being affected by pollution. One of the clean rooms will occupy the entire underground floor. The institute will also equip the University of Manchester's graphene scientists with a 1,500-square-meter research laboratory to collaborate with colleagues in the industry and other universities.

About the research center, Professor Colin Bailey, Vice President of the University of Manchester and Dean of the School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, said: "NGI will be the world's leading graphene research center, which will combine the expertise of the University of Manchester with other UK universities and the world. Leading business organizations combine to make a huge impact on Manchester and the UK's northwest, and will be one of the UK's most exciting research centers in cutting-edge research."

The spokesman pointed out: "Graphene has the potential to revolutionize a wide range of applications, from smartphones and ultra-high-speed broadband to drug delivery and computer chips." It is reported that the graphene scientists at the University of Manchester have come from Ax- Colleagues at the University of Marseille collaborated to create a device that makes it possible to observe a molecule through a simple optical system and analyze its constituents in a matter of minutes. This uses the principle of plasmonic optics - the study of the vibration of electronic components in different materials, and is considered a breakthrough, which is expected to open the door to rapid and more accurate drug testing.

Other developments in many different fields are expected to occur in the latest research conducted at universities such as Cambridge, Durham, Exeter and London. For example, the University of Cambridge has been commissioned to conduct research on advanced flexible and light-based electronics that will be critical to the next generation of thinner, lighter touch screens and computer monitors.

The potential use of graphene in the aerospace industry (such as making aircraft more robust and protecting aircraft from lightning strikes) will be explored by Imperial College London, whose scientists will also study the electrical properties of graphene and work with major companies ( For example, Airbus) cooperates.
