The intrinsic hydrophobicity of graphitic surfaces and the recent claim of wetting transparency of supported graphene are being questioned. In this focus issue we highlight the latest developments ...

A one-atom thick sheet of graphene (highlighted in the circular window) on top of a silicon dioxide support proves to be an excellent thermal conductor, according to new research published in the ...

Instead, both teams had to innovate a setup where the tiny graphene flakes were exposed to microwaves while the researchers slowly varied properties like temperature, which must be kept very low ...
