A team of researchers has been experimenting on stacking and twisting layers of 2D materials. They have found that the layers interact by creating geometric patterns which impact the material properties.<\/h2>\n
Material graphene, the thickness of which is only one layer of carbon atoms, was first isolated in 2004. The discovery of this essentially 2D material, has led to a global boom in materials research.<\/p>\n
Now, \u201c2D materials” are manufactured, out of many different types of atoms. These atomically thin materials often have unique material properties not found in conventional, thicker materials.<\/p>\n
Another area emerging in this field of research is experimentation into stacking these 2D layers at different angles.<\/p>\n
