Abstract:
Twisted graphene, including magic angle graphene, has attracted extensive attentions for its novel properties recently. However, twisted graphene is intrinsically unstable and this will obstruct their application in practice, especially for twisted nano graphene. The twist angles between adjacent layers will change spontaneously. This relaxation process will be accelerated under heat and strain. To solve this problem, we propose a strategy of pillaring twisted graphene by organic linkers in theory. The necessity and feasibility of this strategy is proved by numerical calculation.

01:01Phosphodiester Linkages
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
Phosphodiester Bonds Link Nucleotides Together
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides or long chains of nucleotides that are linked together. A nucleotide is...
