Graphene strains to increase its photoabsorption - Materials Today
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated a new approach to modifying the light absorption and stretchability of atomically-thin two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene by engineering their surfaces using mechanical strain. When combined with flexible light-emitting diodes, this new approach could lead to the development of novel wearable technology and integrated biomedical optical sensing technology.
