If existing, [silicene] would also reveal a cornucopia of new physics and potential applications.
I wonder if the authors bickered over the choice of cornucopia. Seems to me that "bounty" would be more appropriate but maybe the lead author pulled rank.

Ah, I see what happened: Only one of the authors is a native English speaker.
