A new class of two-dimensional materials

more »
Scientists and engineers have developed a method to make new kinds of artificial "superlattices" -- materials composed of alternating layers of ultra-thin "two-dimensional" sheets, which are only one or a few atoms thick. Unlike current state-of-the art superlattices, in which alternating layers have similar atomic structures, and thus similar electronic properties, these alternating layers can have radically different structures, properties and functions, something not previously available.
