VALUABLE ERRORS. “Note that the image sensor is not operational with intrinsic graphene. P-doped graphene is required for the generation of an electron–hole pair upon light absorption. The imperfect graphene, made from non-optimized growth and transfer methods, is not only good for flat image sensing, but also object tracking, enabling advanced technologies such as autonomous vehicles.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

STACKED SHEETS. “When two pieces of graphene sheets are vertically stacked together, it is known as bilayer graphene, and the twisting angle (θ) between the two sheets matters. Since the discovery of graphene, more than a decade of efforts have been invested to obtain a perfect Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (θ = 0°) system because such a system possesses an electrically tunable bandgap (0–0.25 eV), a characteristic that does not exist in conventional materials, allowing innovations in ubiquitous electronics.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

THE MAGIC ANGLE. “Twisted bilayer graphene began to attract research attention in 2018 due to the discovery of the magic angle (θ = 1.1°) in a bilayer graphene system (Figure 2), which can be either a superconductor or correlated insulator system.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

MAGIC ANGLE TWISTRONICS. “This imperfect bilayer graphene system has led to the birth of “graphene twistronics,” which refer to electronic systems designed with twisted bilayer graphene as the active material.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

MAGIC MOIRÉ. “At exact 1.1° stacking order, a moiré pattern made of thousands of atoms is observed in bilayer graphene, similar to the darker bands seen when two grids are juxtaposed like a superatom. This phenomenon allows electrons to completely change a bilayer graphene system from insulator to conductor, and to superconductor.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

DOPED IMPERFECTIONS. “By inserting a buffer layer of boron nitride, it was also found that a twisted bilayer graphene system (θ = 1.17°) exhibits a giant anomalous Hall effect (more than 10 kilohms) at a specific electronic density.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM COMPUTING. “Although the measured magnetic field of 1.17° twisted bilayer graphene system is one million times weaker than that of a commonly used refrigerator magnet, this weak magnet could be useful for memory applications in a quantum computer.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1557/s43577-021-00135-y View in LinkedIn

POWER OF MIND. “The mental events induced by placebo administration can activate mechanisms that are similar to those activated by drugs.” https://lnkd.in/eYaqakN3 View in LinkedIn

“A cloud in the constellation Orion also named Barnard 33 rises like a giant seahorse from the turbulent waves of the Horsehead Nebula. Hubble captured the nebula in infrared light, allowing it to peer through the region's dark, dense dust.” https://lnkd.in/equKEUTH View in LinkedIn
