The study, published in the journal Science, could enable the use of new types of 2-D hybrid materials in technological applications and fundamental research.By rethinking a traditional method of growing materials, the researchers combined two compounds — graphene and boron nitride — into a single layer only one atom thick. Graphene, which consists of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal, honeycomb-like rings, has attracted waves of attention because of its high strength and electronic properties….
