Researchers at the Tour Lab at Rice University developed an improved cost-effective approach using direct laser scribing to prepare graphene embedded with various types of metallic nanoparticles. After condensing each mixture into a film, they treated it with an infrared laser and then heated it in argon gas for half an hour at 750 ˚Celsius.

Wires have a lot going for them when it comes to moving electric power around, but they have their drawbacks too. Wires also challenge electric utilities: These companies must take pains to boost the voltage they apply to their transmission cables to very high values to avoid dissipating most of the power along the way.
