The electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional materials both have strong potential for technological applications. Researchers have long assumed that they are distinct phenomena, but ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

2H-NbO₂—a novel van der Waals oxide synthesized by researchers from Japan—exhibits strongly correlated electronic properties with two-dimensional flexibility. By chemically extracting lithium ions ...

Wrinkles can be an asset—especially for next-generation electronics. Rice University scientists have discovered that tiny creases in two-dimensional materials can control electrons' spin with record ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Sciences; DOI 10.29026/oes.2024.240011 , discusses control of light–matter interactions in two-dimensional materials with nanoparticle-on-mirror structures.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In their pursuit of device miniaturization, researchers are exploring the untapped potential of two-dimensional materials. These atomically thin crystals, with their unique ...

A study in Nature Communications describes a BiOCl-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique for synthesizing ultrathin two-dimensional materials (2DMs) at significantly lower temperatures, ...
