Graphene 'nano-origami' creates tiniest microchips yet

Nanowerk   -   Nanotechnology Websites

By creating kinks in the structure of graphene, researchers have made the nanomaterial behave like a transistor, and have shown that when a strip of graphene is crinkled in this way, it can behave like a microchip, which is around 100 times smalle...
