Researchers have discovered how to control molecules attached to graphene, paving the way for tiny biological sensors and devices to hold information. Because of its unique electrical conductivity, graphene has the potential to be a base for electronic devices that are only nanometres in size. In order to tune sheets of graphene to be useful in different situations, other organic molecules are attached to the sheet, and these molecules must interact with the graphene sheet in predictable ways.
Eg. if the electric charge of molecules could be controlled, then they could be used as molecular ‘switches’...
