Example Sentences

Mazur's group has expanded this field by applying ideas from twistronics, a concept that gained attention through research on twisted bilayer graphene.

From Science Daily

These materials consist of layered structures that resemble graphene but are built from nitrogen rich ring shaped molecular units.

From Science Daily

While graphene is known for exceptional electrical conductivity, it does not function well as a photocatalyst.

From Science Daily

In a study published in Physical Review X, researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign demonstrated how specially designed two dimensional magnetic systems can follow the same equations that describe mobile electrons in graphene.

From Science Daily

"It's not at all obvious that there is an analogy between 2D electronics and 2D magnetic behaviors, and we're still amazed at how well this analogy works," said Bobby Kaman, the study's lead author. "2D electronics are very well studied thanks to the discovery of graphene, and now we've shown that a not-so-well-studied class of materials obeys the same fundamental physics."
