Engineering a bandgap without degrading electron mobility is the key to making graphene into a practical electronic material. The two main strategies for opening up a bandgap in graphene rely on size- ...

Stacking layers of nanometer-thin semiconducting materials at different angles is a new approach to designing the next generation of energy-efficient transistors and solar cells. Recently a team led ...

Researchers have obtained and characterized two-dimensional (2D) boron monosulfide (BS) nanosheets. The bandgap energy of a single BS nanosheet was greater than that of the bulk material from which it ...
