Who: MIT and the University of Michigan, USA.
What: Method of producing graphene, using a process that allows for scale up, by making graphene directly on materials such as large sheets of glass. See “Direct fabrication of graphene on SiO2 enabled by thin film stress engineering”
Where: Production of 2-D materials directly on application-relevant substrates. Potentially important for flexible display and solar cell applications.
When: The work is still in an early stage; as the researchers “still need to improve the uniformity and the quality of the graphene to make it useful.”
