Tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects

Researchers at Rice University have discovered that tiny wrinkles in graphene can significantly change its electrical properties. This finding demonstrates flexoelectricity, where bending the material generates an electric charge. Instead of altering materials chemically, scientists might control electricity just by changing their shape. This could lead to advancements in sensitive sensors and ultra-thin electronic devices.
