Scientists from the Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology (CEST) have developed a method for modeling the behavior of 2D materials under pressure. The research will help create pressure sensors based on silicene or other 2D materials. The paper was published in the ACS Nano journal.
In recent years, engineers have found ways to modify the properties of some “two- dimensional” materials, which are just one or a few atoms thick, by stacking two layers together and rotating one slightly in relation to the other.
Current electronic components in computers, mobile phones and many other devices are based on microstructured silicon carriers. However, this technology has almost reached its physical limits and the smallest possible structure sizes.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have a huge potential for providing devices with much smaller size and extended functionalities with respect to what can be achieved with today's silicon technologies. But to exploit this potential we must be able to integrate 2D materials into semiconductor manufacturing lines - a notoriously difficult step. A team of Graphene Flagship researchers in Sweden and Germany now reports a new method to make this work.
NUS scientists have demonstrated a general approach for characterising the atomic structure, and electronic and magnetic properties of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic insulators using scanning tunnelling microscopy.
Rice University scientists have extended their technique to produce graphene in a flash to tailor the properties of other 2D materials.
A more sensitive e-skin that can replicate the qualities of our skin could improve the lives of patients with a diverse range of medical issues and boost the performance of machines performing delicate tasks.
A group of international researchers at The University of Manchester have revealed a novel method that could fine tune the angle - "twist" - between atom-thin layers that form exotic manmade nanodevices called van der Waals heterostructures - and help accelerate the next generation of electronics.
A research team from the Center for Design, Manufacturing and Materials at Skoltech has recently published a study focusing on multifunctional materials created through the addition of carbon nanoparticles to polymer mat...
Researchers have revealed how high-frequency sound waves can be used to build new materials, make smart nanoparticles and even deliver drugs to the lungs for painless, needle-free vaccinations.
