Defect engineering of Graphene

Controlling the defects in graphene is a very challenging task which when circumvented can provide defected graphene with more number of applications. Researchers at University of Oxford have used electron beam to create defects in graphene in a controlled manner. This can pave the way for graphene research based on atomic defects.
