:00:00. > :00:08.It's Tuesday morning, Ayshah here with your Newsround headlines.

:00:09. > :00:11.Coming up in the next five: A copycat of one of the world's most

:00:12. > :00:13.spectacular archaeological discoveries.

:00:14. > :00:16.And: What's thinner than paper, stronger

:00:17. > :00:24.than metal and made in a kitchen blender? Stay tuned to find out.

:00:25. > :00:33.But first to our main story. There's been a second night of tornadoes in

:00:34. > :00:36.southern America. As At least 19 people have died. Buildings have

:00:37. > :00:39.been destroyed and cars have been overturned. Emergency services are

:00:40. > :00:44.looking for more survivors. You may recognise this guy from your

:00:45. > :00:47.history lessons. His name is King Tutankhamun and he became ruler of

:00:48. > :00:50.Egypt before he was even ten! His tomb is one of the world's most

:00:51. > :00:52.spectacular archaeological discoveries, but the 3,000-year-old

:00:53. > :00:59.site is crumbling after years and years of visitors. So in a bid to

:01:00. > :01:03.save the remains, an exact copy is being opened nearby, in the hope

:01:04. > :01:10.people will go and see that instead. But will it work? The BBC's Rajan

:01:11. > :01:16.Datar has had a sneak preview of it and he joins us now live. So you

:01:17. > :01:22.have seen both the original and the replica. How bad is the damage to

:01:23. > :01:26.the original? It is pretty bad, to be honest. 90 years of two wrists

:01:27. > :01:32.trooping in and out have caused a lot of damage, the paint his peeling

:01:33. > :01:37.off the walls and that is caused by human breath and particles of human

:01:38. > :01:43.skin, so every day, it gets worse. What is the replica like? How

:01:44. > :01:46.similar is it? An awful lot of work went into making the replica, they

:01:47. > :01:53.used laser scanning, state-of-the-art equipment, and

:01:54. > :01:58.three beeping --3-D printing. When I went down there, I was impressed,

:01:59. > :02:03.and an Egyptologist I was with was impressed, so it is a thumbs up. You

:02:04. > :02:08.think tourists will choose to see the copy instead of the original? I

:02:09. > :02:12.think ultimately, they will have no choice because in the long term,

:02:13. > :02:20.they are hoping to restrict public access to the old tomb. The new tomb

:02:21. > :02:23.has a lot of new features and will be multi-educational. That is the

:02:24. > :02:28.way that, unfortunately, cultural tourism will go, when weaker we will

:02:29. > :02:32.have to be very careful and restricted and the future will be

:02:33. > :02:35.copies. -- when we go. Thank you very much.

:02:36. > :02:38.Sport now and Arsenal are set to secure their 17th Champions League

:02:39. > :02:40.appearance next season after beating Newcastle United 3-0 at home last

:02:41. > :02:43.night. Gunner's defender Laurent Koscielny opened the scoring after

:02:44. > :02:53.26 minutes, with two more goals scored just before and after half

:02:54. > :02:56.time. Next, it's thinner than paper,

:02:57. > :02:59.stronger than metal and could one day be used to make bendy

:03:00. > :03:03.smartphones. Graphene has fascinated scientists for years, but now

:03:04. > :03:07.they've found a new way to make it - in a kitchen blender! You're not

:03:08. > :03:15.going to want to miss this. Take it away, Martin.

:03:16. > :03:27.Hotter than -- harder than diamonds, 300 times stronger than

:03:28. > :03:30.steel, and the finished material is very useful. Graphene was first made

:03:31. > :03:36.ten years ago here at the University of Manchester when scientists

:03:37. > :03:41.realised the sticky tape was pulling graphene crystals of a lump of

:03:42. > :03:45.graphite. As well as being tough and then, it is see-through, bending and

:03:46. > :03:50.conduct electricity. In the future, it could be used to make superlight

:03:51. > :03:56.planes, then the spot fines and even electronic paper. -- end a

:03:57. > :04:06.smartphones. But the crystals are so small, you need to have many of them

:04:07. > :04:11.to make things. The best way to find them is a search that is on. Now

:04:12. > :04:15.scientists have found putting graphite in a kitchen blender helps.

:04:16. > :04:19.It allows us to make a large amount of graphene in ways that are cheaper

:04:20. > :04:24.than we have had before. The graphene made in a blender is very

:04:25. > :04:29.good for things like printable inks, you can make an ink you can put in a

:04:30. > :04:32.printer, you can make electrical circuits on paper. There are other

:04:33. > :04:38.applications, like computer chips, which you cannot use this graphene

:04:39. > :04:41.four. We won't be seeing it in planes or cars for awhile yet, but

:04:42. > :04:46.smartphones with graphene screens are already in development. Not bad

:04:47. > :04:52.for something discovered almost by accident.

:04:53. > :04:56.That's all from me. Newsround's back right here at 8:15am, where you can

:04:57. > :04:58.find out who will be joining these guys at Radio 1's Big Weekend. See

:04:59. > :05:00.you then.
