James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials Talk: Fundamental discoveries about graphene and their implications to date

A variety of our scientific discoveries about graphene (and related materials such as ‘graphene oxide’) will be presented, and advances towards practical applications (that have been made typically by others, but sometimes by us) based on such scientific breakthroughs will be described. For several cases this ‘trajectory’ from science of ‘flake graphene’ and ‘CVD graphene’ (graphene grown on copper foil) towards technology and even to commercialization has happened relatively quickly. Several examples of current fundamental research on new materials in our \textit{Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials} (an Institute for Basic Science Center) at UNIST will be given.
