Graphene Nanoribbons

Graphene nanoribbons are very thin strips made from graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. These narrow strips, typically just a few nanometers wide, exhibit unique electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties due to their size and shape. They can conduct electricity efficiently and are promising for future electronic devices, such as transistors and sensors. The way their edges are shaped influences their behavior, making them a versatile material for advancing nanoelectronics and material science research.
