New graphene laser technique opens door for edible electronics

Eurekalert  February 28, 2018 An international team of researchers (USA – Rice University, Israel) reports a method of using multiple pulsed-laser scribing to convert a wide range of substrates into laser-induced graphene (LIG). With the increased versatility of the multiple lase process, highly conductive patterns can be achieved on the surface of a diverse number of substrates in ambient atmosphere. The use of a defocus method results in multiple lases in a single pass of the laser, further simplifying the procedure. Any carbon precursor that can be converted into amorphous carbon can be converted into graphene using this multiple lase […]
