Intercrystals
Recent advancements in material science have led to the discovery of a new class of materials known as intercrystals. Researchers from Rutgers University–New Brunswick have revealed their unique electronic properties, which could influence future technologies. These materials are formed by stacking ultrathin layers of graphene with a slight twist over hexagonal boron nitride, creating moiré patterns that alter electron movement. What Are Intercrystals? Intercrystals are materials that exhibit both quasicrystalline and crystalline properties. They possess non-repeating atomic patterns like quasicrystals but maintain symmetries found in conventional crystals. This hybrid nature allows for unique electronic behaviours not typically observed in standard materials. The Role of Twistronics Twistronics is a modern technique that manipulates the angles of layered materials. By adjusting these angles, researchers can create moiré patterns that dramatically change the electronic structure....
