New Theory Helps Improve Quality of Materials’ Growth

A new study by scientists at Rice University on the growth of graphene in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) furnace paves way to improve the quality of materials’ growth. 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.
