The squishy solids look and feel something like a child’s toy but offer new possibilities for energy storage and flexible electronic sensor applications, according to James Tour, a chemist at Rice University, whose lab developed the method.

The technique, detailed in Advanced Materials, is an extension of Tour lab work that produced the first laser-induced graphene (LIG) in 2014 by heating inexpensive polyimide plastic sheets with a laser.
