:00:00. > :00:12.Happy Tuesday morning. I'm Ayshah with your morning Newsround.
:00:13. > :00:15.Arsenal tighten their grip on the race for fourth place.
:00:16. > :00:18.And what's thinner than paper, stronger than metal and made in a
:00:19. > :00:26.kitchen blender? Stay tuned to find out.
:00:27. > :00:31.You may recognise this guy from your history lessons. His name is King
:00:32. > :00:42.Tutankhamun and he became ruler of Egypt before he was even ten! But
:00:43. > :00:46.the 3000-year-old site is crumbling after years and years of visitors.
:00:47. > :00:52.So officials have come up with an unusual plan to protect it.
:00:53. > :00:56.The Valley of the Kings. The final resting place for the pharaohs of
:00:57. > :01:00.Egypt's. The most famous tomb is that of Tutankhamun. Discovered in
:01:01. > :01:03.1922 by British archaeologist Howard Carter, it stunned the world,
:01:04. > :01:06.because it was in almost perfect condition. But after 92 years, the
:01:07. > :01:14.number of people visiting the tomb is causing it's a delicate walls to
:01:15. > :01:17.fall apart. Since Carter opened the tomb up, the constant changes of
:01:18. > :01:21.humidity. The changes and moisture levels. The airborne pollutants that
:01:22. > :01:27.come in with people. Those have an effect on the tomb. Now there is a
:01:28. > :01:31.plan to save the tomb. An exact copy of it has been built a few
:01:32. > :01:34.kilometres away. It was created by a special team using laser scanners
:01:35. > :01:37.and 3D printers. It is hoped that tourists will go and see the copy
:01:38. > :01:41.instead of the crumbling original. But will visitors want to see a
:01:42. > :01:45.fake? A BBC team were given a sneak preview of it. They took an expert
:01:46. > :01:48.on Egypt to see what he thought. Well, I'm sorry. But I have to say,
:01:49. > :01:56.it's marvellous. ?? WHITE LAUGHTER. Making a copy of a historical
:01:57. > :02:00.attraction might sound strange. But it isn't the first time it's
:02:01. > :02:03.happened. The prehistoric paintings inside France's Lasko Caves were
:02:04. > :02:07.copied after the original caves shut in the 1960s. Tourists see the copy
:02:08. > :02:10.rather than the original. The real Tutankhamun tomb may eventually have
:02:11. > :02:14.to close, so that it can be preserved. But for now, visitors
:02:15. > :02:23.will have a choice between it and its copy.
:02:24. > :02:25.Sport now and Arsenal are set to secure their 17th Champions' League
:02:26. > :02:28.appearance next season after beating Newcastle United 3-0 at home last
:02:29. > :02:32.night. Gunner's defender Laurent Koscielny opened the scoring after
:02:33. > :02:38.26 minutes. Two more goals were scored just before and after half
:02:39. > :02:41.time. Next, it's thinner than paper,
:02:42. > :02:45.stronger than metal and could one day be used to make bendy
:02:46. > :02:49.smartphones. Graphene has fascinated scientists for years. But now,
:02:50. > :02:53.they've found a new way to make it. In a kitchen blender! You're not
:02:54. > :02:58.going to want to miss this. Harder than diamonds. 300 times
:02:59. > :03:04.stronger than steel. And the thinnest material ever discovered.
:03:05. > :03:09.All these things make graphene. A very useful material. Graphene was
:03:10. > :03:12.first made ten years ago here at the University of Manchester. Scientists
:03:13. > :03:18.realised their sticky tape was pulling graphene crystals off a lump
:03:19. > :03:21.of graphite. As well as being strong, tough and thin, graphene is
:03:22. > :03:28.see-through, bendy and conducts electricity. In the future, it could
:03:29. > :03:35.be used to make superlight planes, bendy smartphones. Even electronic
:03:36. > :03:43.paper. But graphene crystals are so small, you need a lot of them to
:03:44. > :03:47.make things. So the search is on to find the best way to make them. Now
:03:48. > :03:50.a group of scientists in Ireland have found they can extract thin
:03:51. > :03:54.layers of graphene crystals by putting graphite in a kitchen
:03:55. > :03:59.blender. It allows us to make a large amount of graphene.
:04:00. > :04:03.Potentially in a way that's a lot cheaper than other ways we've had
:04:04. > :04:07.before. The graphene you make with a blender is very good for things like
:04:08. > :04:11.printable inks, for example. You can make ink that you can put in a
:04:12. > :04:13.printer and make electrically conducting circuits on paper. There
:04:14. > :04:16.are some other applications. Electronics, like computer chips,
:04:17. > :04:20.for example, which you can't use this graphene for. We won't be using
:04:21. > :04:23.graphene in planes or cars for a few years yet, but smartphones with
:04:24. > :04:30.graphene screens are already in development. Not bad for something
:04:31. > :04:34.discovered almost by accident. And finally, Katy Perry has been
:04:35. > :04:41.confirmed as the latest act to perform at Radio Ones Big Weekend in
:04:42. > :04:44.Glasgow next month. She'll join the One Direction boys, who are
:04:45. > :04:47.currently in Peru on the latest leg of their World Tour. Other artists
:04:48. > :04:51.confirmed for the Big Weekend include Ed Shearan and The Vamps.
:04:52. > :04:55.Over 50,000 tickets have been given away to excited fans and it's the
:04:56. > :05:00.largest free event in Europe. That's all from me. Newsround's back
:05:01. > :05:02.with Ricky in the afternoon. See you later.
