An energy gap can be opened in the electronic spectrum of graphene by lifting its sublattice symmetry. In bilayers, it is possible to open gaps as large as 0.2 eV. However, these gaps rarely lead to a highly insulating state expected for…

Common wisdom asserts that bound excitons cannot form in high-dimensional (d>1) metallic structures because of their overwhelming screening and unavoidable resonance with nearby continuous bands. Strikingly, here we illustrate that this…
