Water droplets shape graphene nanostructures

Thursday, December 17, 2009 - 01:49 in Physics & Chemistry

Graphene -- A single-atom-thick sheet of carbon, like those seen in pencil marks -- offers great potential for new types of nanoscale devices, if a good way can be found to mold the material into desired shapes. Chemists at the University of Illinois at Chicago say it's possible, reporting that graphene can become quite pliable using only a nanodroplet of water to do the job. Link:  http://www.uic.edu ...
