Ionized structure on the right has no trapped electrons, and some of the M atoms have been largely... view more  Credit: Soungmin Bae and Hannes Raebiger An exploratory investigation into the behavior of materials with desirable electric properties resulted in the discovery of a structural phase of two-dimensional (2D) materials. The new family of materials are electrides, wherein electrons occupy a space usually reserved for atoms or ions instead of orbiting the nucleus of an ato...
