Varying the angle between crystals
Twisted electronics: Columbia University researchers have shown that they can fine-tune the electronic, mechanical, and optical properties of 2D heterostructures like graphene on boron nitride by varying the angle between the crystals in real time. (Courtesy: Columbia University)
Researchers at Columbia University in the US have developed a new device structure in which they can
