Evidence: Well-supported for the paper and for the Manchester building. Sensor-in-the-brain language is motivation, not a device clearance.
Documented science
- Thomas et al., ACS Nano 9, 10909 (2015) — holey graphene as a molecular “weed barrier” on gold. Full read: holey-graphene-molecular-stencil. Recirculated as if new in Sep 2026; it was not new.
Documented institutions
- National Graphene Institute (University of Manchester) opens as a dedicated building — a place, a funding signal, not a proof of product-market fit.
Tension
Biosensor and neural-interface slides are common. Peer-reviewed patterning and in vivo cleared implant are different rows. Keep them split.
