Electrical switching can control the optical transparency of thin films of graphene oxide, according to researchers in Aykutlu Dana’s group at Bilkent University (O.O. Ekiz et al., ACS Nano, doi: 10.1021/nn1014215). This could possibly be used to create bistable displays for electronic paper or to tune ultrafast optoelectronic devices.
