MIT team develops simple, inexpensive method that could help
realize material’s promise for electronics, solar power, and sensors.
Graphene, a two-dimensional array of carbon atoms, has shown
great promise for a variety of applications, but for many suggested uses the
material requires treatments that can be expensive and difficult to apply
predictably. Now, a team of researchers at MIT and the University of California
at Berkeley has found a simple, inexpensive treatment that may help to unleash
the material’s potential.
