Construction of the UK's national graphene institute (NGI) to start in Q1 2013

Back in February the UK government announced a £50 million graphene drive, which included the £38 million national graphene institute at the University of Manchester, which will become a world-class shared facility for graphene research and commercialization activities. This plan is still underway and the University has started the formal tender process to choose a contractor to build the NGI.
