In a first, physicists have directly seen Hofstadter’s butterfly—a long-sought-after fractal in the quantum realm ...

Graphene not only has the incredible physical properties you'd expect from a sheet of crystal, widely cited as the strongest material ever created on a per-weight basis, but it also has incredibly ...

Graphene, also known as the wonder material ... when electrons freeze and settle down such a structure is called the Wigner crystal. However, in this case, the rotational motion of electrons ...

University of Texas at Dallas scientists are investigating how structures made from several layers of graphene stack up in terms of their fundamental physics and their potential as reconfigurable ...

Graphene always sounds exciting, although we aren’t sure what we want to do with it. One of the most promising features of the monolayer carbon structure is that under the right conditions, it ...

Although scientists knew one atom thick, two-dimensional crystal graphene existed, no-one had figured out how to extract it from graphite, until Professor Geim and Professor Novoselov’s groundbreaking ...

They introduced an approach that leverages 2D materials—such as graphene and hexagonal boron nitride—as templates, guiding TMD crystal alignment to enable the synthesis of perfectly single ...
