One of most intriguing and unique aspects of graphene is how deeply the behavior can be modified through shaping and and patterning. The high sensitivity to atomic scale structure is a doubly edged sword, however, making defect engineering very challenging, and often with results that disappoint compared to theoretical predictions. I will discuss three examples of how seemingly minor differences in edge-structure, edge-chemistry and encapsulation can have a surprising impact on the transport properties, with emphasis on our recent realisation of lithographic bandgap engineering of graphene on a 10 nm scale.
