Well, he did just buy a 3D printer....
Awesome! World domination awaits!
Pete is indeed 'Awesomo' himself

Is 2 miles wide enough?
2 miles will be sufficient. You can fit quite a few tailless, fly-eating cats in a sphere that size...

"Graphene was discovered in 2004 after scientists used sticky tape to isolate a single, atom-thick layer of graphite - the same material used in pencils.
1. Stick tape - still amazing
2. They had to explain what graphite was again. Sigh.
and from a different article this amazing quote

Speaking to BBC News about the recognition of his work's significance by the Nobel committee, Professor Geim was nonchalant: "It feels normal," he said.
Smiling, he added: "It made a lot of effects on today's routine, I planned to go to work and work hard and write a couple of papers and produce something good. But instead I have been doing interviews. So it has been detrimental to today's science."

Could so easily imagine Pete saying that too...
Correct me if I'm wrong but £50m will get you a bit of graphene about the size of a business card!
Bargain...
