Title
The Magic of Atomically Thin Crystals
Abstract
Once in a while an invention comes along that opens uncharted paths of inquiry. The isolation of graphene and other 2D layers changed the way we think about materials. It has now become possible to design and control electronic properties without changing chemical composition, through alternative means such as superposing layers or controlling strain. I will describe highlights from this rapidly evolving field, from its serendipitous inception to recent developments.
