"A::Until not long ago, many people thought producing a silicene transistor in practice could not be done because silicene is unstable. However, we discovered that covering it with protective materials can stabilise it. This approach is similar to silicon technology, where silicon’s success is partly due to a protective surface layer of silicon oxide that shields it."
