🤔 What Are 2D Materials?

2D materials are crystals just one or a few atoms thick. Graphene, isolated in 2004 (Nobel Prize 2010), was the first. Now hundreds exist: semiconducting MoS₂ for transistors, insulating hBN as the perfect substrate, black phosphorus with a tunable band gap, and many more with properties impossible in their bulk form.

Why stack them? By layering different 2D materials like atomic LEGO bricks, you create van der Waals heterostructures with designer properties. Twist two graphene layers to the "magic angle" (1.1°) and it becomes a superconductor. The possibilities are limitless.
