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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists use electron ptychography to image hidden phason vibrations in 2D materials with record-breaking atomic resolution.

Making computer chips smaller is not just about better design. It also depends on a critical step in manufacturing called patterning, where nanoscale structures are carved into materials to form the ...

By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...

Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have experimentally confirmed a decades-old theory ...

As silicon-based computer chips approach their physical limitations in the quest for faster and smaller designs, the search for alternative materials that remain functional at atomic scales is one of ...

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 ...
