2D materials enhance a 3D world

more »
In the past decade 2D materials have captured the fascination of a steadily increasing number of scientists. These materials, whose defining feature is having a thickness of only one to very few atoms, can be made of a variety of different elements or combinations thereof.

This ingeniously simple experiment yielded an incredible material: graphene.
