- First measurement of the 3D-stiffness of unsupported monolayer graphene. Controversially suggests that graphene is a 3D material, not 2D. PRL Editors’ Suggestion (for top 1-in-6 papers). Reported in New Scientist, etc. Professor Proctor wrote in Physics World (https://physicsworld.com/a/high-pressure-experiments-reveal-graphenes-3d-nature): “Experiments like these are notoriously difficult. The authors’ study - a first - is a major achievement.” Innovate UK funded (Ref-104714, 1-1-2019 to 30-9-2020, £495,000). Paper provides underpinning research for Paragraf, Humphreys’ spin-out graphene device company, which occupied premises in 2018, already employs 42 people and has filed 20 patents (https://www.paragraf.com; CEO, s.thomas@paragraf.com). Led to plenary (Humphreys) at Yucomat 2019 (https://www.mrs-serbia.org.rs/index.php/confirmed-plenary-speakers-2019/yucomat-confirmed-plenary-speakers-2019).
