Flexible electronics, microfluidics and other cutting-edge engineering applications utilize two-dimensional (2D) metal oxides. These oxide layers are thin yet powerful sheets that combine the useful ...

In this work, they characterize and compare the flatness of the hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)-2D and metal-2D interfaces down to angstrom resolution. For their study of 2D interfaces the researchers ...

But the new approach allows “large-scale, truly 2D metals” to be produced. For now, it's not known exactly what properties ...

XU Weihong from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Acadamy of Sciences (CAS) reported a comparative study about the detection performance of fluorescent 2D metal ...
