- Graphene is extremely sensitive to its surroundings, but must be mounted on a stable substrate. Researchers have succeed in placing a layer on top of a stable fatty lipid monolayer. Surrounded by a protective shell of lipids, graphene could enter the body and function as a versatile biosensor. http://www.universiteitleiden.nl/en/news/2016/09/travelling-through-the-body-with-graphene 13 comments science
