Theoretical physicists design 'holy grail' of materials science

Physicists of Utrecht University and their French colleagues have theorized the 'holy grail' of material science. It's a material that should exhibit a unique combination of the exceptional electronic properties of graphene with the important properties that graphene misses at room temperature. "If we manage to synthesize this 'holy grail' and it exhibits the theoretically predicted properties, a new field of research and applications opens up we can't fathom yet," says Prof. Cristiane Morais Smith from Utrecht University. Their findings are published in Nature Communications on 10 March 2015.
