| Abstract: | Narrow, smooth-edged graphene nanoribbons are needed for graphene electronics to replace the current silicon technology. In their Communication on page?8041?ff., J. Wang, F. Ding, et?al. report a smart strategy for cutting single-walled carbon nanotubes (gray) into narrow graphene nanoribbons in H(2) gas (green) with a single transition-metal atom (Cu, red) as the chemical scissors. |
