Graphene can be sculptured by electron beams, according to researchers at Georgia Tech. Carbon atoms can be added or subtracted – and in the case of graphene oxide, surface oxygen can be used to remove carbon atoms with no additional chemicals. “By timing and tuning the energy of the electron beam, we can activate interaction ...
