Move over sticky tape: a splattering of zinc atoms and a dash of acid is the best way to peel off single layers of graphene, the atom-thin form of carbon that electrons can zip through with incredible efficiency and speed.
This technique is so precise that it might be possible to create electrical circuits using only graphene components, which could allow this exotic material to realise its potential as the basis for ultra-efficient, super-fast computer chips.
