Can copper be turned into gold? For centuries, alchemists pursued this dream, unaware that such a transformation requires a ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a groundbreaking method to transform graphite into materials with ...

Synthetic graphite is made by subjecting amorphous (non-crystalline) carbon to enormously high temperatures to rearrange the carbon atoms into the proper crystal structure. Choice of feedstock is ...

It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with the diffraction of light by a two dimensional grid. It is also worthwhile to take along the model of the graphite crystal structure.

However, a more viable transformation, according to Prof. Moshe Ben Shalom, head of the Quantum Layered Matter Group at Tel Aviv University, involves reconfiguring graphite’s atomic layers by subtly ...
