MIT physicists turn pencil lead into “gold”
MIT physicists have metaphorically turned graphite, or pencil lead, into gold by isolating five ultrathin flakes stacked in a specific order. The resulting material can then be tuned to exhibit three important properties never before seen in natural graphite.

By incorporating different materials, it becomes possible to combine the properties of individual layers, producing new #optoelectronic devices with tailor-made properties. This opens the door to exploring fundamental #physics, such as interlayer #excitons, #twistronics, and more.
Scientists discover 'flipping' layers in heterostructures cause changes in their properties
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors are special materials that have long fascinated researchers with their unique properties. For one, they are flat, one-atom-thick two-dimensional (2D) materials similar to that of graphene. They are compounds that contain different combinations of the transition metal group (e.g., molybdenum, tungsten) and chalcogen elements (e.g., sulfur, selenium, tellurium).
