Graphene has long been seen as the future of computer processors and electronics. However, over the past couple of years, some remarkable two-dimension crystal materials have emerged. One new challenger is black phosphorus. This week, a Korean research team has figured out how to create a tunable band gap in the material, allowing it to be used as a semi-conductor, and (potentially) a superior replacement for silicon. What does this mean for semiconductors, and the future of graphene? Let’s find out! Black Phosphorus Like graphene, black phosphorus can be separated into one-atom-thick sheets. These sheet are known as phosphorene, but...
