Illustration of the Scotch tape method for isolating graphene. A piece of graphite is placed on adhesive tape, which is then folded over and peeled apart repeatedly to cleave the graphite into thinner ...

Their technique centered around "pulling" strands of graphene out of a sample of pure graphite by using the so-called Scotch Tape method; this involves sticking and unsticking clear sticky tape ...

We were always amused that one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the recent past — graphene — was started with pencil lead and Scotch tape. Now, researchers at the University of Alabama ...

The Scotch tape method, while a fun party trick ... the environmental impact by 99 percent compared to traditional graphene production. "Expanded graphite is a layered nanocarbon material ...
