Graphene Lattice Simulator (2D)

Top-down 2D honeycomb carbon lattice: drive delocalized electrons across the sheet with an electric field, scatter them with vacancy defects and heat, then stretch the lattice under tension to see where sp2 C-C bonds fail.

Graphene is a single sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb, and that one geometric fact is responsible for two very different superlatives: it is one of the best electrical conductors known and one of the strongest materials ever measured. This top-down 2D Canvas version renders an actual honeycomb lattice and lets you drive its electrical and mechanical behaviour separately — push an electric field through delocalized electrons, introduce vacancy defects that scatter them, then stretch the sheet under tension to see exactly where and why the carbon-carbon bonds start to fail.
