New approach enables accessible, rapid and qualitative characterization of graphene materials

The team at King’s College London designed the new ‘interactional fingerprinting’ method that creates a unique identity of individual samples. By mimicking humans’ sense of taste and smell, the method can create a qualitative snapshot of the material without relying on inaccessible gold-standard measurement machinery manned by teams of specialists. It is said to be more simple and low-cost to perform.
