Graphene must surely be one of the most exciting developments in modern science. Indeed, the substance is so extraordinary that it sounds too good to be true—a super-flexible sheet of carbon, just a single atom thick, which is not only the thinnest and strongest material yet known but also conducts heat, light and electricity while being impassable to gas.
We have two scientists at the University of Manchester to thank for graphene. What began with Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov playing around with Scotch tape and a block of carbon graphite turned into the discovery of the so-called "miracle material"(and a joint Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010).
Now, of course, the race is on to put graphene to use. Even the more sober predictions read like science fiction. From cheap desalination filters to solve the world’s creeping water crisis, to next-generation electronics with foldable touch-screens and ultra-speedy biodegradable processors, to super-strong but super-lightweight cars and airplanes, if just a fraction of graphene’s potential is fulfilled it will change the world. And that is without even considering either the biomedical or the military possibilities. Nor are researchers hanging back; in 2012 alone, some 10, 000 papers were published on the subject.
Britain may be the birthplace of graphene, but we will still have to work hard to hang on to our global lead as scientists and entrepreneurs across the world dash for competitive advantage. The good news is that real efforts are being made to bridge the long-standing gap between university research and commercial products that so often leaves the UK lagging behind, for example, the US. The Government has given more than £60m, and graphene research centers are under construction in both Manchester and Cambridge.
But there are already signs of progress. Yesterday, Applied Graphene Materials—a spin-off from Durham University—became the second manufacturer of the material to list successfully on the stock market this year. Both its founders’ ambitions and investors’ belief in them are wholly justified. Graphene’s potential is limited only by our imaginations.
It can be inferred that the past graphene research in the UK was______.
选项
A、put to dash for competitive advantage
B、far ahead of the US in marketing
C、turned into a lot of science fiction
D、isolated in university experiment labs
答案
D
解析
本题为事实细节题。文章在第四段中提到“made to bridge the longstanding gap between university research and commercial products”,由此可知,石墨烯以前只是局限于大学实验室的研究,并没有商业化、产业化,因此本题选D。
