Silicene, an atom-thin form of silicon that holds promise for super-fast computing, has a structure called a buckled honeycomb lattice

As recently as 2010, human-made silicene – an atom-thin form of silicon – was purely theoretical. But now the exotic material has been used to make transistors, and researchers have found that silicene's electrical properties lend it extraordinary potential in powering the next generation of computer chips.
