Graphene fabrication gets rolling

Explore this new research with secondary school students to give a real-world context when studying carbon allotropes and graphene. Use the story and the accompanying summary slide for ages 14–16 to show your leaners how chemists have used sticky tape to produce graphene flakes at a fraction of the cost, size, and speed of current methods. This innovation promises faster large scale manufacturing and versatile applications in electronics and sensing.
