In a paper published in the journal Physical Review B, the scientists say the propensity of graphene-a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice - to stick to itself and form carbon "nanoscrolls" could be controlled electrostatically to form a myriad of new devices.

Fogler said such nanoscrolls could have a wide range of applications, such as actuators whose operation resembles the blinking of one's eyes, valves in lab-on-a-chip devices and even a form of electronic paper.
