Terrestrial continents are one of the unique characteristics of our planet. In contrast to the oceanic crust, which is only 200 million years old due to its regular recycling, the continental crust is much older and allows us to go far back in geological history.

These beautiful bronze patterns appeared when a drop of water containing graphene oxide was placed under an optical microscope as the water evaporated. By doing so, I help develop new applications based on graphene: batteries, “supercapacitors” (devices that allow high electrical energy to be charged and discharged very quickly compared to batteries) or even specific particle detectors. To the left of the image are dark “tree” structures that resemble graphene oxide trunks and branches. The water did not evaporate homogeneously over the entire surface, this is referred to as “partial dehumidification”. This area is more outward than gout. Then the…
