Scientists discover wrinkles make graphene work better. My forehead has been making that discovery for years.
Graphene's Wrinkles Could Revolutionize Electronics, Physicists Find
Physicists in the US and UK found that microscopic wrinkles in graphene, a one-atom-thick material, can alter its electrical properties via flexoelectricity. The bends act as 'speed bumps' for electricity, potentially enabling future materials designed by geometry rather than chemistry. The research was published in Advanced Materials.
