TL;DR: The presence of free-standing, single-layer graphene is confirmed with directly interpretable atomic-resolution imaging combined with the spatially resolved study of both the pi --> pi* transition and the pi + sigma plasmon.

TL;DR: Results advance the quantitative correlation of atomic-scale structure with the properties of nanomaterials and can provide essential guidance to the development of nanowire-based device technologies.

TL;DR: A new and highly reliable approach for making graphene membranes of a macroscopic size and their characterization by transmission electron microscopy is described and it is found that long graphene beams supported by only one side do not scroll or fold, in striking contrast to the current perception of graphene as a supple thin fabric.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed pi and pi+sigma-surface plasmon modes in free-standing single sheets at 4.7 and 14.6 eV, respectively.

TL;DR: It is shown that the 21 gene regulon specifying the pdu organelle and propanediol utilization enzymes from Citrobacter freundii is fully functional when cloned in Escherichia coli, both producing metabolosomes and allowing propanedol utilization.
