Researchers Create Large, Stable Pieces of Graphene with Zigzag Edge Pattern

Graphene is a favorable material for application in nanoelectronics. But its electronic properties rely significantly on how the edges of the carbon layer are developed. Zigzag patterns are especially fascinating in this respect, but thus far, it has been nearly impossible to produce edges with a pattern like this.
