New ultra-lean,patterned graphene sheets will be essential in designing future technologies such as 'smart wallpaper' and internet-of-things applicationsAdvanced Technology Institute uses moth-inspired ultrathin graphene sheets to capture light for exercise in energy production and to power smart sensorsGraphene is traditionally an excellent electronic fabric, but is inefficient for optical applications, or absorbs only 2.3% of the light incident on it. A new technique enhances light absorption by 90%.
