Graphene, a one - atom - thick carbon sheet, has taken the world of physics by storm — in part, because its electrons behave as massless particles.

The material — known as 1T» - WTe2 — bridges two flourishing fields of research: that of so - called 2 - D materials, which include monolayer materials such as graphene that behave in different ways than their thicker forms; and topological materials, in which electrons can zip around in predictable ways with next to no resistance and regardless of defects that would ordinarily impede their movement.
