Graphene reveals light tuned quantum states pointing to new electronics

Researchers have pushed graphene’s promise further by directly observing Floquet effects in the one-atom-thick carbon lattice, confirming that Floquet engineering can precisely tune metallic and semi-metallic quantum materials. The international effort was led by the University of Goettingen with collaborators in Braunschweig, Bremen, and Fribourg, and the findings appear in Nature Physics.
