Food 3 (IMAGE) Rice University Caption A Rice University lab uses a laser to burn graphene in the form of a Rice Owl into a piece of cloth pre-treated with fire retardant that turns the surface into amorphous carbon. The technique created at Rice allows conductive laser-induced graphene to be created on many surfaces.
