This is a guest post by Thanasis Georgiou, the Director of MoS2 Crystals, a Manchester based MoS2 Crystals and flakes provider.

Graphene has mesmerized the labs of hundreds of research groups worldwide. With its exceptional set of properties it is widely expected that it would find applications in a variety of areas. However, looking back on the work of the Nobel Laureates, their highly cited PNAS publication was entitled “Two-dimensional atomic crystals”(Novoselov et al., 2005). Indeed, graphene was just the first of many different crystalline materials that can be exfoliated and investigated. Graphene justifiably attracted such intense research due to its exotic Dirac-cone nature of its electronic spectrum.
