Two-dimensional sheets combine many remarkable properties in a single, atomically thin package. For example, a graphene sheet can be made into a high-performance transistor, but it is also the ultimate realization of a thin mechanical sheet. In this talk, I will discuss some of the fascinating properties of heterostructures of these materials, touching on everything from creating the world’s thinnest bimorph to the electronic and mechanical properties of interlayer strain solitons.
