No, we’re not ready to quit graphene, but the field of super-exciting 2D materials is getting rather crowded these days. That’s good news for a laundry list of desirable items of the future, including solar energy, wind energy, energy storage, and electric vehicle batteries. Lighter-smaller-faster-cheaper is the name of the game, and the use of nontoxic, abundant materials is a plus.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at two new developments that could nudge conventional silicon semiconductors aside and spark a whole new clean technology revolution, if and when they finally go bounding out the laboratory door.
Apprently, it's not about the material per se, it's about the topology. To read more, click here.
