The 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to graphene discoverers, Andre Geim, and Konstantin Novoselov, of the United Kingdom's University of Manchester. In a phone interview Novoselov described how he spotted the key to their findings, discovering that sticky tape would peel off single-atom thick layers of graphene for study.

"We had been trying several other methods in our lab. And there was a senior researcher who was preparing samples of graphite (bulk carbon samples) for the attempts. The way you clean graphite is just cover it with tape and pull the tape off, and then throw it away. So once, I just picked it up out of the trash and we analyzed it."(+)
