Rice University lab grows ‘bottom-up’ nanoribbons for the first time    
      
   HOUSTON – (July 18, 2013) – Concentric hexagons of graphene grown in a furnace   
   at Rice University represent the first time anyone has synthesized graphene   
   nanoribbons on metal from the bottom up — atom by atom.   
      
   The Singapore National Research Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, the   
   Lockheed Martin LANCER IV program and the Air Force Office of Scientific   
   Research supported the work. Calculations were performed on the National   
   Science Foundation-supported    
   DaVinCI supercomputer at Rice, the National Institute for Computational   
   Sciences’ Kraken and the National Energy Research Scientific Computing   
   Center’s Hopper.
