Two-dimensional materials are substances with a thickness of a few nanometres or less. Electrons in these materials are free to move in the two-dimensional plane, but their restricted motion in ...

"In the future, two-dimensional materials could become the core of optical isolators and enable on-chip integration for today's optical and future quantum optical computing and communication ...

or material designed to protect people from projectiles. By creating the first-ever two-dimensional material to feature mechanical (rather than chemical) bonds, they've developed an armor material ...

A research group recently discovered the disappearance of nonreciprocal second harmonic generation (SHG) in MnPSe₃ when ...

In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked material. Resembling the interlocking links in ...

The rapid advancement of technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has heightened the ...

Accordingly, a material's physical properties change as the energy levels evolve from discrete to continuous. To sum up the dimensionality issue in nanomaterials, each class—zero-dimensional (0D), one ...

Researchers fused lines of molecules like links in a chain to create sheets of the world's first two-dimensional mechanically interlocked material (2D MIM), which has length and width. The ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...
