Read moreSilicon, a semi-metal, bonds in its natural form with four other elements and its three-dimensional structure takes the form of a tetrahedron. For a long time, it seemed impossible to achieve the synthesis and characterisation of a two-dimensional equivalent. Now scientists have succeeded in producing a crystalline complex with such a configuration.
