An aligned graphene assembly amplifies the anisotropic properties of individual sheets, creating in a strong dark/bright contrast in the all-graphene Panda display. Zhiming M. Wang, Jiming Bao, and co-workers report in article number 1805255, that such alignment can be achieved with a pair of rotating magnets in an arbitrary direction and space, which opens the opportunity of transfering graphene's superior properties to a macroscopic graphene assembly.
