Remember how graphene, the single-atom thick layer of carbon was so slick it was going to change everything? Well it looks like silicene is here to steal the spotlight. Reachers have just made the first sheet of single-atom thick silicon. More »

Engineers have proposed the possibility of two-dimensional metamaterials. These one-atom- thick metamaterials could be achieved by controlling the conductivity of sheets of graphene, which is a single layer of carbon atoms. Read Post

Graphene, a hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms that's only a single atom thick, has only been a hot topic in condensed matter physics for a few years, and scientists are still discovering new uses for it. A letter in Nature describes... Read Post

Any regular reader of this site will be aware of the huge potential of graphene – the chicken-wire-like lattice of carbon atoms arranged in thin sheets a single atomic layer thick that promises to revolutionize the fields of data st... Read Post
