Scientists created macroscopic graphene oxide films by assembling surface-folded, multilayer graphene oxide flakes into a 'fold-clasping lamellar structure.' The resulting films achieved 2.9 GPa strength, 84.5 MJ/m³ toughness, and 5% elastic strain, combining properties that are typically difficult to achieve together in 2D material films.

Scientists studying a rhombohedral graphene device mapped two distinct electronic phases—an anomalous metal (AM) state and a superconducting (SC) state—by measuring resistance across varying gate voltages, magnetic fields, temperatures and currents. Using multiple voltage probe pairs on a second device, they found the SC and AM regions occupy consistent boundaries in the phase diagram, matching results from an earlier primary device, though the absolute resistance values differed between contact pairs.
