Finding new materials with useful properties is a primary goal for materials scientists, and it's central to improving ...

A new platform for controlled design of printed electronics with 2D materials Date: December 21, 2021 Source: Imperial College London Summary: Scientists have shown how electricity is transported ...

From smartphones that bend to solar panels that wrap around houses, flexible electronics could make consumers very happy. But first, someone has to figure out how to make them. One important question ...

Atoms bind together by sharing electrons. The way this happens depends on the atom types but also on conditions such as temperature and pressure. In two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as ...

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers have developed a method to visualize the thermally-induced rearrangement of 2D materials using ...

Researchers have demonstrated that by using argon plasma, metal atoms can be dispersed and guided to desired positions. This new strategy ensures that not a single atom goes to waste and maximizes the ...

However, for 2D lasing, the design and fabrication of microcavities that provide a high optical mode confinement factor and high quality, or Q, factor is required." ...

The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong ...

Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the world of magnetic materials, developing a 2D magnet measuring just one atom thick that functions at room temperature. drizzuti/Depositphotos. 2 / 2.

In an effort to understand how and why 2D interfaces take on the structures they do, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a method to visualize the ...
