Led by Prof Coleman, in collaboration with the groups of Prof Georg Duesberg (AMBER) and Prof. Laurens Siebbeles (TU Delft, Netherlands), the team used standard printing techniques to combine graphene
nanosheets as the electrodes with two other nanomaterials, tungsten diselenide and boron nitride as the channel and separator (two important parts of a transistor) to form an all - printed, all - nanosheet, working transistor.

This effect, known
as a photoconductive response, can be used to make a photodetector or light sensor, and because the two - dimensional
nanosheets exhibited such a strong photoconductive response across a broad light spectrum and simultaneously resist chemical contamination, this research could lead to a revolution in extreme low - light, high - resolution imaging products and applications, such
as consumer and professional cameras and video cameras, for example.
