In the last decade, graphene has been intensively studied for its unique optical, mechanical, electrical and structural properties.

Two examples: graphene — single - atom - thick sheets of carbon atoms — has unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties; and two - dimensional electron gases (2DEG)-- planar collections of electrons supported at the interface between certain semiconductors such as gallium arsenide — allow the observation of such emergent behaviors as the quantum Hall effect and the spin Hall effect.

Although other materials can change shape in response to moisture, the researchers experimented with graphene - based materials because they are incredibly thin and have unique properties such as flexibility, conductivity, mechanical strength and biocompatibility.
