Anomalous Dirac point transport due to extended defects in bilayer graphene

In seemingly indistinguishable bilayer graphene samples, two distinct transport regimes, insulating and metallic, have been identified experimentally. Here, the authors demonstrate that these two states originate from the interplay between extended defects and evanescent modes at the Dirac point.
