Unexpected Quantum Effects in Natural Double-layer Graphene
Image: Christoph Hohmann, MCQST Cluster Insider Brief Graphene is a wafer-thin layer of carbon atoms with unusual properties, including high electrical conductivity. If two individual graphene layers are twisted at a very specific angle to each other, the system even becomes superconducting. However, the production of such twisted graphene double-layers has so far required increased […]
