Blue Waters simulations help unravel graphene heat-transfer riddle

A team led by Fatemeh Khalili-Araghi, University of Illinois at Chicago, simulated heat transfer between grain boundaries at the atomic level, finding that when the computer ''built'' grain boundaries with different mismatch angles, the grain boundary was not just a line, it was a region of disordered atoms.
