Tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects

Researchers at Rice University have found that extremely small wrinkles in graphene can alter how the material behaves electrically. The results provide experimental evidence for flexoelectricity, an effect in which uneven bending causes a material to develop an electric charge. The findings are published in Advanced Materials.
