An approach that produces single-crystal graphene sheets on large-scale electrically insulating supports could help with the development of next-generation nanomaterial-based devices, such as very ...

Copper is the most commonly used metal in the electronics industry, thanks to its excellent conductivity and ability to be drawn into thin wire. But it does corrode, which forms copper oxide on its ...

(A) Schematic of the quartz holder that the copper (Cu) foil is suspended from, (B) photograph of the configuration shown schematically in (A). (C) Photograph of the annealed single crystal Cu foil ...

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...

Chirality—often described as "handedness"—is a fundamental property of nature, underlying the behavior of molecules ranging ...
