Scientists control graphene’s electrical behavior through shape instead of chemistry
SMRTR summary
Rice University researchers confirmed a theory first predicted in 2008, proving that sharp nanoscale wrinkles in graphene shift electrons and generate electric charges through shape alone, not chemistry. This flexoelectric effect, up to 10 million times stronger than larger systems, could enable ultrathin sensors and next-generation electronics.
