Question
In 2018, MIT physicist Pablo Jarillo-Herrero discovered an arrangement of this material that was a major development in the field of twistronics. The labels K and K-prime denote six points where this material’s valence and conduction bands meet, the discovery of which was the first experimental evidence for Dirac cones. Two pieces of this material can exhibit superconductivity if overlaid at a “magic angle” of 1.1 degrees. This popular nanoribbon material was traditionally produced through epitaxial growth before the discovery of a method by Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov; that exfoliation process isolates this material using Scotch tape. For 10 points, name this extremely conductive two-dimensional allotrope of carbon. ■END■
ANSWER: graphene [accept bilayer graphene; prompt on carbon; reject “graphite”; reject other carbon allotropes like “nanotubes”]
