Two

scientists
at
the
University

Manchester
,
Andrei
Geim
and
Kostya
Novoselov
,
were
playing
about
with
flakes
of
____________________
graphite
in
an
attempt
to
investigate
its
____________________
properties
when
they
decided
to
see
if
they
could
make
____________________
flakes
with
the
help
of
____________________
____________________
tape
.
They
____________________
the
tape
to
____________________
off
a
layer
of
graphite
from
its
block
and
then
repeatedly
____________________
off
further
layers
from
the
original
cleaved
flake
until
they
____________________
to
____________________
____________________
to
flakes
that
____________________
only
a
few
atoms
thick
.
They
soon
____________________
that
by
repeatedly
sticking
and
peeling
back
the
Scotch
tape
they
could
____________________
____________________
to
the
thinnest
of
all
possible
layers
,
one
atom
thick
?
a
material
with
unique
and
immensely
interesting
properties
.
