Researchers Develop Chiral Graphene Stacks to Produce Atomic-Scale Large Area Films

Non-superimposable mirror images of each other, such as hands and feet, are referred to as chiral objects. One image is clearly right-handed, and the other is left-handed. A ball and a basic drinking glass are some examples of achiral objects, which means the object and its mirror image look the same.

Insertion of Calcium Atoms Causes Graphene to Exhibit Superconductivity

Graphene is a single-atomic carbon sheet with a hexagonal honeycomb network. Graphene’s electrons take a unique electronic state, referred to as Dirac-cone, where they like they have no mass. This enables them to move rapidly, and gives graphene a high electrical conductivity. The flow of electrons without mass and resistance in graphene is significant as it demonstrates potential for a futuristic high-speed nanoelectronic device.
