The ordinary graphite in pencil lead is proving to be surprisingly multifaceted at the microscale. In a study published in ...

The superlattice obtained by aligning a monolayer graphene and boron nitride (BN) inherits from the hexagonal lattice a sixty degrees periodicity with the layer alignment. It implies that, in ...

Scientists are investigating how structures made from several layers of graphene stack up in terms of their fundamental physics and their potential as reconfigurable semiconductors for advanced ...

Graphene is a two-dimensional sheet of sp2 carbon atoms arranged in a hexagon structure 1. Due to its excellent mechanical 2,3, electrical 4,5, and thermal properties 6,7, graphene has many advantages ...

The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we're taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most materials in nature.

Graphene is the most well-known member of the 2D materials family. It consists of a sheet of covalently bonded carbon atoms in a hexagonal lattice with the thickness of a single atom. This unique ...

A new technical paper titled “Large-area synthesis and transfer of multilayer hexagonal boron nitride for enhanced graphene device arrays” was published by researchers at Kyushu University, National ...

Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...

Researchers at the National Graphene Institute, in collaboration with the National University of Singapore, have shown that ...
