The best way to avoid substrate effects is to do measurements directly at the air/water interface. Raju Kumal and @amandajcarrphd describes a simple method to prepare thin #grapheneoxide films at this interface. @RSCAdvances @doescience @HESS_Argonne pubs.rsc.org/en/content/arti…

According to my quick calculations we are losing millions of hours collectively while waiting enhanced pdfs to load. I am not aware of any benefit in return. #AcademicChatter
