Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...
Graphene is the wonder material that could solve the problem of making ever faster computers and smaller mobile devices when current silicon microchip technology hits an inevitable wall. Graphene, a ...
A beam of electrons can “kick” single atoms out of a two-dimensional sheet of hexagonal boron nitride. The vacancy is visible as a triangular dark spot at the top left. (Courtesy: Toma Susi / ...
