From graphite via graphene to electronics and implants

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University just unveiled the "Ink and Pen" method to turn natural minerals into flexible electronics.

How?

▫️ Electrochemical exfoliation (ECE) turns graphite into graphene paste
▫️ A laser "writes" circuits onto polymers, titanium, ceramics
▫️ Result: flexible sensors, biocompatible components for implants

Scaling up 2D materials got real. 🖨 And it likely works for other minerals too. Not just graphene.
