An international team of surface scientists has now developed a simple method to produce large and very clean 2D samples from a range of materials using three different substrates. Ever since the ...

A new microscopy technique allows scientists to see single-atom-thick boron nitride by making it glow under infrared light. Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz ...

Two-dimensional materials, which consist of just a single layer of atoms, can be packed together more densely than conventional materials, so they could be used to make transistors, solar cells, LEDs, ...

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...

These ultra-thin materials exhibit unique quantum and electronic properties not found in conventional bulk materials. Their atomic thinness allows precise control over their structures and properties ...

Researchers have discovered a new 2D material, confirming decade-old prediction. More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron ...

Quantum technologies from ultrasensitive sensors to next-generation information processors depend on the ability of quantum bits, or qubits, to maintain their delicate quantum states for a ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

College of Engineering at Seoul National University announced that a research team led by Professor Gwan-Hyoung Lee from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, in collaboration with the ...
