Cooling graphene causes buckling that could further the search for quantum materials

Graphene buckles when cooled while attached to a flat surface, resulting in patterns that could benefit the search for novel quantum materials and superconductors, according to a recent Rutgers-led research.Quantum materials host strongly interacting electrons with...
Graphene and MoS2 make for a highly light-absorbent and tunable material

Graphene and MoS2 make for a highly light-absorbent and tunable material

physicists at the University of Basel have created a novel structure with the ability to absorb almost all light of a selected wavelength, by layering different 2D materials: graphene and molybdenum disulfide. Schematic illustration of the electron-hole pairs...
