Researchers produce large regions of uniform rhombohedral four-layer graphene by introducing a small twist between two layers of bilayer graphene. Four-layer rhombohedral graphene is a new platform for realizing flat-band-based quantum phenomena in a natural way.

Researchers develop a groundbreaking method, Moiré metrology, to map the interaction of ultrathin layers. Information about the layers' interaction is imprinted on top of fine spatial patterns that emerge after the atomic relaxation.

‘Kicking’ the atoms in a CuGeO3 crystal with an infrared laser pulse can not only make the material transparent, but the transparency can also be controlled on an ultrafast femtosecond scale.
