Fracture has been a grave concern for practical applications of graphene and other atomically thin and brittle materials. By contrast, in this issue of Matter, Ming et al. present a method to harness the power of fracture in controlled fabrication of ordered graphene ribbons, which may initiate a new approach to making structures and devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials.

利用断裂的力量：通过衬底颈缩控制石墨烯的断裂

对于石墨烯和其他原子薄且脆的材料的实际应用，断裂已成为严重关注的问题。相比之下，在本期《物质》中，Ming等人。提出了一种在有序石墨烯带的受控制造中利用断裂力的方法，该方法可能会启动一种基于二维（2D）材料制造结构和器件的新方法。
