Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common ...

In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over 50 years, the electronics industry has consistently delivered exponential increases in computing power, as predicted by Moore's Law. This trend of constant enhancement ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

Bongki Shin is a materials science and nanoengineering graduate student at Rice University and a first author on a paper published in the journal Matter. HOUSTON – (Feb. 18, 2025) – Even the strongest ...

Hexagonal boron nitride has a layered crystalline structure in a hexagonal lattice arrangement composed of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms held together by strong covalent bonds. This structure ...

The only catch? Graphene didn’t naturally grow on the insulating substrates absolutely necessary to incorporate it into electronic devices. Instead, it crystallized readily on metals incompatible with ...
