A recent article in Scientific Reports detailed the characterization of disordered structures in graphene and monolayer hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) induced by low-energy argon ion irradiation. The ...

Engineers have discovered an unexpected link between two very different realms of physics: the behavior of electrons in ...

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) is a layered material with a structure analogous to that of graphene. Within each layer, it is composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms that are arranged in a sp ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers at the University of Antwerp explain how higher order supermoiré periodic modulations due to the encapsulation of graphene between hexagonal boron nitride affect the ...

The fractional quantum Hall effect has generally been seen under very high magnetic fields, but MIT physicists have now observed it in simple graphene. In a five-layer graphene/ hexagonal boron ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a surprising mathematical connection between two areas of condensed ...

Engineers have discovered a surprising connection between the electrons in graphene and magnetic spin waves in certain ...

What is the actual structure of graphene oxide nanoflakes? This question is important for optimizing the properties of the carbon material in real-world applications, and researchers at CSIRO in ...

(Nanowerk News) The electron is the basic unit of electricity, as it carries a single negative charge. This is what we’re taught in high school physics, and it is overwhelmingly the case in most ...
