Graphene
Chemistry NowThis video, part of a series on "Chance Discoveries" in chemistry, tells the story of two scientists who used their curiosity--and Scotch tape--to isolate single-layer sheets of graphite one atom thick: graphene, one of the thinnest, strongest materials known. The two won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery.
