Poking graphene results in peeling and self-assembly of ribbons

(Phys.org)—A pair of researchers with Trinity College in Ireland has found that graphene sheets are capable of spontaneous tearing when heated, which results in peeling and the creation of ribbons. In their paper published in the journal Nature, James Annett and Graham Cross describe how they happened across the new property of graphene, their studies of it, and possible ways it might prove useful.
