The method also introduces electrostatic repulsive forces between the graphene layers and prevents them from reattaching themselves.

On top of the graphene is a very thin layer, just a few atoms thick, of boron nitride, which protects the electrons in the graphene from outside influences.

To address the terahertz gap, the team created a hybrid semiconductor: a layer of thick conducting material paired with two thin, two - dimensional crystalline layers made from graphene, silicene (a graphene - like material made from silicon instead of carbon), or a two - dimensional electron gas.

Graphite is essentially made from sheets of graphene stacked together like a deck of cards, and sliding it in the right way can separate the layers.

Tour and his group discovered last year that heating a commercial polyimide plastic sheet with a laser burned everything but the carbon from the top layer, leaving a form of graphene.
