Drawing inspiration from how beetles and tree frogs keep
their feet attached to submerged leaves, the study breaks current technology
bottleneck and enables wide ranging applications for graphene
Singapore, 12 December 2013 - A team of researchers from the
National University of Singapore (NUS), led by Professor Loh Kian Ping, who
heads the Department of Chemistry at the NUS Faculty of Science, has
successfully developed an innovative one-step method to grow and transfer
high-quality graphene on silicon and other stiff substrates, opening up opportunities
for graphene to be used in high-value applications that are currently not
technologically feasible.
