Plasma Used to Create Graphene (IMAGE)
Caption
A ray of plasma, which glows pink, is used to activate a gas of hydrogen and methane molecules and break them down into smaller fragments. The sample to be coated, such as a two-dimensional copper line, is then immersed in the plasma, and carbon from the gas gets deposited onto the surface as thin sheets of graphene.
