Since the discovery of graphene, a great future has been predicted for the material, which is strong and highly conductive. The just one atom layer thick carbon can lead to new electronics. Examples include printable and flexible electronics, touch screens and OLEDs. For this, interaction with other materials is necessary, however. Researchers have now examined what happens at the interface with other materials and have thus brought graphene electronics a step closer.
