Silicene research. Researcher standing next to a particle accelerator in a materials science research laboratory, France. Silicene is a sheet of silicon that is one atom thick, making it effectively two dimensional. This enables the manufacture of much smaller, faster electronics. Silicene is made by evaporating silicon onto a silver plate to form a single layer of atoms.
