A team of researchers
from China and the U.S. has been a method to cut graphene accurately with a
nanorobot that is based on an atomic force microscope. The work, entitled
'Court graphene controlled by a nanorobot based on an atomic force microscope',
was published in 'Scientia Sinica'.
Graphene is a
two-dimensional stable structure has attracted worldwide attention in recent
years due to its excellent electronic properties, physical and mechanical
properties and its wide range of applications. It has been shown experimentally
that the electrical properties of graphene are closely related to its size,
geometry and structure, therefore, make the graphene having the desired shape,
it is essential for practical application.
