Researchers Provide New Insights about Physics of Conductive Materials by Examining Electrons in Graphene

Compared to copper, graphene is much more conductive, partly due to its 2D structure. In a majority of metals, conductivity is restricted by crystal flaws which cause electrons to often scatter like billiard balls when they travel through the material.
