Graphene Revolutionizes Graphite with 3D Material Gateway

Researchers at the University of Washington have discovered that by stacking a sheet of graphene onto bulk graphite at a small twist angle, they can induce "exotic" properties in the graphite, similar to its 2D counterpart. This unexpected breakthrough opens up possibilities for modifying other bulk materials to exhibit 2D-like properties, potentially revolutionizing various fields such as computing, communication, and energy. The twist angle technique could be used to create 2D-3D hybrids of different materials, unlocking new approaches for studying unusual states of matter and re-engineering the properties of conventional bulk materials.
