Graphene is a hot subject in science right now. It’s a honeycomb sheet of carbon just one atom thick, 200 times stronger than steel, more conductive than copper and can stretch up to 125% of its ...

I never know what to expect when I tell people I study graphene—some have never heard of it, while others have seen some version of these headlines and inevitably ask, “So what’s the holdup?” Graphene ...

Researchers have created the first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. The breakthrough throws open the door to a ...

The design of new materials allows for either improved efficiency of known applications or totally new applications that were out of reach with the previously existing materials. Indeed, tens of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Moiré patterns occur everywhere. They are created by layering two similar but not identical geometric designs. A common example is the pattern that sometimes emerges when viewing a ...

Dmitry Abanin is in the Department of Physics, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544, USA. In the classical case, if the billiard ball is aimed precisely, it can follow certain periodic ...
