An architectural construct is a synthetic material that includes a matrix characterization of different crystals. An architectural construct may be comprised of, for example, graphene, graphite, or boron nitride. It may be configured as a solid mass or as parallel layers that may be as thin as a single atom. In large part, its configuration determines how it behaves under a variety of conditions. In implementations in which it is arranged as parallel layers, the architectural construct can be configured to behave in a desirable manner by selecting the layers' thicknesses, their composition, the amount of distance between them, and/or another variable. |
