Tubes of Graphene

Caption

From left to right, A vial of graphite (Gr), like what you would find in an ordinary pencil; a vial of graphene oxide (GO), produced by exfoliating Gr--shedding the layers of the material -- and mixing it with the bacteria Shewanella; a vial of the resulting product -- graphene materials (mrGO); and a vial of graphene materials that have been produced chemically (crGO). The graphene materials produced by Anne Meyer's lab are significantly thinner than the graphene materials produced chemically.
