Speed bumps less important than potholes for graphene

Researchers from NIST and Georgia Tech have created detailed maps of electron interference patterns in graphene to understand how defects in the two-dimensional carbon crystal affect charge flow through the material. The results have implications for the design of graphene-based nanoelectronics.

   05-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Certain army ants in the rainforests of Central and South America conduct spectacular predatory raids containing up to 200,000 foraging ants. Remarkably, some ants use their bodies to plug potholes in the trail leading back to the nest, making a flatter surface so that prey can be delivered to the developing young at maximum speed.
