Graphene is considered one of the most robust and 1. __________________ on the planet.
It has 2. _________________ since 2004, when it first drew a large amount of attention
and made a widespread impact on the industry.

At the time, all of the innovations that graphene promised to introduce were 3.

Since no 6. _______________ is mentioned in this substance, it is merely a plain atom

sheet. Specifically, such atoms of carbon are organized in interlocking or 7.
__________________, which is similar to a chicken wire.

Back in 2004, it was found out that graphene could be produced with surprisingly simple
gadgets, namely some 8. __________________ and a square of a particular kind of
graphite.

The press and the media can effortlessly 9. __________________ any novel scientific or
technological innovation and view it as something revolutionary.
