Promising Steps Towards Large Scale Production of Graphene Nanoribbons for Electronics

Promising Steps Towards Large Scale Production of Graphene Nanoribbons for Electronics

Two-dimensional sheets of graphene in the form of ribbons a few tens of nanometers across have unique properties that are highly interesting for use in future electronics. Researchers have now for the first time fully characterized nanoribbons grown in both the two possible configurations on the same wafer with a clear route towards upscaling the production.
