<p><span lang="EN-US">Combination of metallic nanostructures with graphene is envisioned to modify with accuracy and to confer extra functionality to the already extraordinary properties of graphene. Physical vapor deposition methods, such as magnetron sputtering or gas-phase aggregation techniques, are reliable methods to incorporate functional nanostructures. The gradual manipulation of the optical and electric properties in these hybrid materials is anticipated to give insight into the development of tunable touch, chemical and biosensors&nbsp;and other advanced electronic devices.</span></p>
