Physical systems become inherently more complicated and difficult to produce in a lab as the number of dimensions they exist ...

Austrian scientists have achieved a breakthrough by embedding individual platinum atoms into an ultrathin material and pinpointing their positions within the lattice with atomic precision for the ...

Silicon-based electronics are approaching their physical limitations and new materials are needed to keep up with current technological demands. Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a rich array of ...

Two-dimensional materials are only a few atoms thick yet hold great promise for the electronics of tomorrow. Because they are so thin, they can be piled in strange, twisted configurations that yield ...

Scientists have discovered that a "single atomic defect" in a layered 2D material can hold onto quantum information for microseconds at room temperature, underscoring the potential of 2D materials in ...

Engineers fabricated 2D materials that could lead to next-generation transistors and electronic films. True to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the ...

A novel 2-dimensional quantum substance has been discovered. The material is composed of atom-thin layers of cerium, silicon, and iodine (CeSiI) and is the first example of a two-dimensional material ...

Annular dark field scanning electron microscopy images of a bilayer interface after heat pulses at 500° (left), 600° (middle) and 700° (right). Dashed colored lines mark the positions of the interface ...
