The fascinating properties of graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms—have been widely celebrated. Not only does graphene exhibit remarkable physics, it also shows great promise for new applications, like flexible display screens and solar cells. But scientists aren't easily satisfied. The hunt is on for the next generation materials—layered stacks composed of single sheets of 'flat' materials like boron nitride (BN), graphene (C) or tungsten disulfide (WS2).
