techspotlight:How do you manufacture huge amounts of graphene for a fraction of the cost? Printing pressesGraphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms with amazing physical properties, could carry the digital world into an age beyond silicon. But it might be helped along by a technique borrowed from something quite analog: the newspaper printing press.Earlier this month, the National Science Foundation awarded University of Pennsylvania graphene startupGraphene Frontiers $744,600 to develop technology that makes it faster and cheaper to produce graphene on a large scale. I recently caught up with CEO Michael Patterson who described how roll-to-roll manufacturing will enable graphene to make its entrance into the big industries -- source link
