UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa., Sept. 17 -- Pennsylvania State University issued the following news release:
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Tiny wrinkles could reveal new behaviors in graphene, an exceptionally strong, conductive and thin material used in batteries, computer chips and other electronics. According to a new study published in Advanced Materials, small bends in graphene's two-dimensional (2D), or one-atom-thick, structure can change the material's electrical properties.
The team of physicists and engineers from multiple institutions, including co-corresponding author Vincent Meunier, Department Head of Engineering Science and Mechanics and P. B. Breneman Chair and Professor at Penn State, reported that this wrinkling behavior offers evidence ...
