This wonder material—a form of carbon that comes in films a single atomic layer thick—won Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov the Nobel prize for physics last year.

作为碳的一形式，这胶带操作的奇妙材料只有单原层厚度，发明者安德烈·杰姆和克斯特亚·诺沃洛夫为此获得了去年的诺贝尔物理学奖。

In fact, what is great about houses made from a single material, these mono-material houses, is that there are no unnecessary joints, extra moldings, ledges, fillets or metal trims that appear at the material junctions.

事实上，单材料建造的棒的一点就是没有不必要的接缝、额外的装饰条、窗台、填充料或金属边框出现在材料交接处。
