Columbia University – Breaking (and restoring) graphene’s symmetry in a twistable electronics device
A recent study from the Columbia University labs of James Hone (mechanical engineering) and Cory Dean (physics) demonstrates a new way to tune the properties of two-dimensional (2-D) materials simply by adjusting the twist angle between them. The researchers built devices consisting of monolayer graphene encapsulated between two crystals of boron nitride and, by adjusting the relative […]
