An Interview with Professor Sir Andre Geim: From Graphene to a New World of Materials

Twenty years ago, people believed two-dimensional materials could not exist. Today, they have become one of the most exciting frontiers in materials science.

In this interview, Professor Sir Andre Geim, Nobel Laureate in Physics and the Chair Professor in HKU’s Department of Physics, reflects on how graphene opened the door to an entirely new class of materials. He also discusses the journey from scientific discovery to real-world impact, the role of startups in translating research into innovation, and the ongoing challenges of bio-inspired technologies such as Gecko Tape.

Watch now to learn how a single breakthrough transformed our understanding of materials and continues to inspire new possibilities across science and technology.
