New form of graphene oxide is fun to play with – and solves manufacturing challenges. A Northwestern University team is reshaping the world of graphene – literally. The team has turned graphene oxide (GO) into a soft, moldable and kneadable play dough that can be shaped and reshaped into free-standing, three-dimensional structures.

Called “GO dough,” the product might be fun to play with it, but it’s more than a toy. The malleable material solves several long-standing – and sometimes explosive – problems in the graphene manufacturing industry.

“Currently graphene oxide is stored as dry solids or powders, which are prone to co...
