Starting from the discovery of graphene and its unique properties, there has been enormous progress in the production of atomic crystals that are strictly two dimensional (2D). By stacking various atomic crystals on top of each other, it is possible to create multilayer heterostructures which hold the promise for novel devices with designed electronic properties. For 2D systems and for heterostructures we are just at the very beginning of understanding these phenomena. The collection of articles in this issue is focused on fundamental aspects of physics of 2D materials, including graphene, but with a special attention to other 2D crystals and heterostructures.
