A review paper by scientists at Beijing Institute of Graphic Communication presented  a thorough review of the existing ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as a significant class of materials promising for photocatalysis, and defect ...

Scientists announce the discovery of slab waveguides based on the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride. The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with Kansas State ...

Physicists have shown that ultra-thin two-dimensional materials such as tungsten diselenide can rotate the polarization of visible light by several degrees at certain wavelengths under small magnetic ...

A research team has discovered a unique quantum state at the interface between organic materials and two-dimensional ...

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 ...

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, ...

More than ten years ago, researchers at Rice University led by materials scientist Boris Yakobson predicted that boron atoms would cling too tightly to copper to form borophene, a flexible, metallic ...

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 ...

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence ...
