Controlled defects in single-layer graphene pinpoint a critical 20 nm spacing where quantum interference traps electrons and ...

A layered form of graphene shows a rare semimetal state with balanced electrons and holes that becomes a topological insulator when exposed to moderate magnetic fields. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Semimetals ...

The ultra-clean platform could reveal new, fragile quantum states previously masked by disorder. The technique isn't limited to single-layer graphene and could enhance other two-dimensional systems, ...

Ordinary pencil lead holds extraordinary properties when shaved down to layers as thin as an atom. A single, atom-thin sheet of graphite, known as graphene, is just a tiny fraction of the width of a ...

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has become a highly prized material in electronics applications owing to its unusual electronic structure. 1 Although graphene is only composed of carbon atoms, ...

Electronic behavior is a highly engaging domain for physicists exploring the properties of graphene. In this article, we discuss the relationship between stacked graphene and its electronic behavior.

Graphene's enduring appeal lies in its remarkable combination of lightness, flexibility, and strength. Now, researchers have shown that under pressure, it can briefly take on the traits of one of its ...

Graphite is a naturally occurring form of carbon composed of carbon atom layers stacked on top of each other. These layers are loosely bonded, allowing them to slide past one another and giving ...
