Scientist wins Nobel Prize using Scotch Tape

Hello Future Engineer,

Sometimes you don't need all the high tech equipment to be able to accomplish something profound. A scientist used Scotch tape to demonstrate creation of thin layer of graphene using a Scotch tape...and won Nobel Prize for it! You can read more about it at here.

This reminds me of telling you about the KISS principle put forth by Kelly Johnson (inventor/designer of a few legendary aircrafts namely U-2, SR-71).

KISS == Keep It Simple, Stupid!
