An approach that produces single-crystal graphene sheets on large-scale electrically insulating supports could help with the development of next-generation nanomaterial-based devices, such as very ...

Copper is the most commonly used metal in the electronics industry, thanks to its excellent conductivity and ability to be drawn into thin wire. But it does corrode, which forms copper oxide on its ...

Copper (Cu) foil, with its exceptional electrical and thermal conductivity, serves as a foundational material for integrated circuits, high-frequency communication, and advanced energy technologies.

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...

Making high-performance computer circuits from graphene requires starting with high-quality films of the material on an insulating surface. But defects usually crop up when graphene is grown directly ...

Illustrating showing Thomas Edison holding graphene on the left and a man with safety goggles holding a large blue crystal on the right Crystal craze: Fortuitous experiments led to graphene in a ...
