The researchers said the new material is made of a layer of graphene and a layer of tungsten disulfide, and could be used in solar cells and flexible electronics
The researchers said that they want to build artificial materials with synergistic functionality
The approach is to design synergistic materials by combining two single-atom thick sheets that could for example act as a photovoltaic cell as well as a light-emitting diode
