➽=ALL The future that graphene builtMove over, flat carbon. Meet borophene, phosphorene and the rest of the next generation of “atomically thin” super-materials.
The wonder material graphene — an array of interlinked carbon atoms arranged in a sheet just one atom thick — promised a world of applications, including super-fast electronics, ultra-sensitive sensors and incredibly durable materials. After a few false starts, that promise is close to realization. And a suite of other extremely thin substances is following in its wake.
