Study Provides New Insights into Graphene Growth

Researchers at Rice University have observed the formation of graphene in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique at the atomic level. The study findings have been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal. Co-author, Boris Yakobson informed that electric current traverses through a pure graphene sheet with virtually no resistance, a quality that makes the nanomaterial a material of choice for electronic applications such as touchscreens.
