Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted a lot of attention in recent years for their excellent electronic, thermal and mechanical properties, as well as their interesting quantum effects. While graphene has gathered the most commercial attention, there are hundreds of 2D materials, all of which have different combinations of properties for different applications. A research team headed up at the University of Chicago has discovered some unusual behaviour in the 2D material Fe5GeTe2.
