Graphene: is there anything it can't do (aside from be manufactured at scale, anyway)

moiré superlattice

IIRC, they've been shown to change material responses to both photons and phonons. Makes me wonder whether in this case they're seeing actual "fractional quanta" (kind of a contradiction in itself), or "just" an interaction with the moiré pattern (still interesting).
