Older Press:
Recently published in Science 328, 1373 (2010), our collaboration with Elisa Riedo (Georgia Tech) and P. Sheehan (NRL), together with Seth Marder (Georgia Tech) and Bill King (Univ Illinois), on Epitaxial graphene oxide used a simple and quick one-step process based on thermochemical nanolithography (TCNL) for creating nanowires, tuning the electronic properties of reduced graphene oxide on the nanoscale and thereby allowing it to switch from being an insulating material to a conducting material. Georgia Tech has press coverage of the article, along with several other online science media outlets.
