Sentences with phrase «graphene behaves»

Under certain pH conditions they found that graphene behaves like a polymer — changing shape by itself.

For the first time in a metal, scientists have found that the charge - carrying particles in graphene behave as a fluid, where, rather than avoiding each other, particles collide trillions of times a second.

Researchers at Harvard University and Raytheon BBN Technology have discovered that the charged particles inside high - purity graphene behave as a fluid with relativistic properties.

Scientists have found that the charged particles in graphene behave like a relativistic fluid, meaning graphene - based chips could now be used to model black holes and supernovas or build highly efficient devices that turn heat into electricity.
