| 0:04.6 | I don't know yet. |
| 0:06.1 | Why is blight so far? |
| 0:08.0 | Like, it sounds so simple. |
| 0:09.3 | They had no idea. |
| 0:10.7 | But now the data's... |
| 0:12.0 | I find this not only refreshing, but at some level astounding. |
| 0:19.9 | Nature. |
| 0:20.3 | Nature. Nature. |

| 0:28.0 | Hello and welcome to the Nature podcast. |
| 0:31.7 | This week we'll be hearing about Graphene's latest superpower. |
| 0:35.9 | And we'll be celebrating the 50th anniversary of a science fiction classic. |
| 0:38.8 | This is the nature podcast for the 8th of March 2018. I'm Benjamin Thompson. And I'm Noah Baker. Over the past decade or so, graphene is one of |
| 0:48.4 | those things which we just keep hearing about. Physicists already call it a wonder material, |
| 0:53.0 | and now they think it might have |
| 0:54.7 | gained another potentially huge superpower. But before we get to that, let's start off with a quick |
| 0:59.9 | graphene 101. Ben, what do you know about graphene? It's a two-dimensional material. Correct. Made up of a |
| 1:08.0 | single sheet of carbon atoms. Next question, how was graphene first isolated? |
| 1:14.5 | From pencil lids. |
| 1:16.9 | Right, again, sort of. |
| 1:18.8 | It was first isolated from a layered material called graphite, |
