Graphene ‘Nano-origami’ Creates Tiniest Microchips Yet

This is the first time any researchers have done this.

The tiniest microchips yet can be made from graphene and other 2-D-materials, using a form of “nano-origami,” physicists at the University of Sussex have found.   This is the first time any researchers have done this, and it is covered in a paper published in the ACS Nano journal.   By creating kinks in the structure of graphene, researchers at the University of Sussex have made the nanomaterial behave like a transistor, and have shown that when a strip of graphene is crinkle...
