About Subject 3

Atoms can also be arranged into networks, 1-, 2-, and 3- dimensional lattices which can introduce unique properties into materials. Graphene, for instance, is a 2-dimensional layer of graphite, which exhibits thermal and electric conductivity. Subject 3 will serve as an introduction into some common nets.
