Muscovite mica (MuM) is a highly stable mineral that is commonly used as an insulator. However, the electrical properties of single-layer and few-layered MuM are not well understood. Now, a group ...

Furthermore, due to the chemical composition of the minerals, these large areas have a net negative charge which makes the mica minerals quite hydrophilic (i.e. very good at attracting water).
