Scientists have turned wood into an electrical conductor by
making its surface graphene. Chemist James Tour of Rice University
and his colleagues used a laser to blacken a thin film pattern onto
a block of pine. The pattern is laser-induced graphene (LIG), a
form of the atom-thin carbon material discovered at Rice in 2014.
“It’s a union of the archaic with the newest nanomaterial into a
single composite structure,” Tour says. The findings appear
in Advanced Materials. Here, two planks of laser-induced
graphene on pine are…
