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 ...

Among all the forms of carbon, graphene — a one-atom-thick planar layer of carbon atoms in a densely packed honeycomb crystal lattice — has become the most promising candidate for the ...

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 ...

The unexpected result started a debate in the community because theory predicted that it would take billions of years for a proton to permeate through graphene’s dense crystalline structure. This had ...

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

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

Where would carbon-based life be without carbon? There are 118 known chemical elements, but carbon is the fourth most ...

By adjusting the parameters of their setup, the researchers found they could get the graphene to grow into a synthetic diamond with hexagonal lattices. The first diamond made by the group was ...

Moiré patterns generated from overlaying hexagonal lattices. Three different lattices (red, black, and blue) consecutively superimposed in that order, where they represent hBN, graphene, and hBN, ...

Anomalous effect A topological electronic crystal has been observed in a multilayer twisted graphene system. (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Rost9 ... Moiré patterns occur when two lattices are overlaid and ...

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 ...
