Scientists Manipulate Ripples In Graphene, Enabling Strain-based Graphene Electronics

Scientists report the first direct observation and controlled creation via simple thermal manipulation of one- and two-dimensional ripples in graphene sheets. The result has important implications for controlling thermally induced stress in graphene electronics and represents the first step towards strain-based graphene engineering. The thermal contraction of graphene had been predicted theoretically, but this is the first time it has been demonstrated and quantified experimentally.
