Graphene’s Ability to Conduct Electricity Gains Popularity

Graphene, a two-dimensional wonder-material, has earned immense popularity due to its exceptional capability to conduct electricity. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) have used rod-shaped bacteria to add nanoscale ripples in the material, allowing it to conduct electrons differently in perpendicular directions. The bacteria is precisely arranged in an electric field and then vacuum-shrunk below a graphene sheet.
