Forced to run a labyrinth of carbon atoms uniquely arranged in twisted stacks, electrons do some rather peculiar things.

The Würzburg model system consisting of two nanographene layers that can absorb and bind chloride ions (green) through a defect in the crystal lattice. Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and ...

A team of physicists, materials scientists and engineers affiliated with several institutions in China, working with a ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

The scientists found that this arises because the wrinkles effectively ‘stretch’ the graphene lattice, thus providing a larger space for protons to permeate through the pristine crystal lattice. This ...

The researchers had previously found that protons easily permeate through graphene’s crystal lattice. However, it remained unknown whether other small ions could pierce the dense crystal lattice in ...

Given the high quality of the carbon lattice ... graphene a unique material for the development of high-frequency transistors up to the terahertz domain. Alternatively, the two-dimensional crystal ...

Researchers have identified a new class of quantum states in a custom-engineered graphene structure ... is guaranteed by a property of electron crystal known as topology, which describes the ...

Anomalous effect A topological electronic crystal has been observed in a multilayer twisted graphene system ... Moiré patterns occur when two lattices are overlaid and rotated relative to each other.

Engineers have long dreamed of creating a wonderful material that can revolutionize construction. In 2004, their dream came ...
