Description:
Article Graphene doesn’t usually have a bandgap but one can appear when the two-dimensional material is placed on a hexagonal boron nitride substrate. Jung et al . now develop a theory that indicates that this occurs because the graphene’s carbon atoms structurally relax when placed on boron nitride.
