The rapid growth of research on 2-D materials – materials such as graphene and others that are a single or few atoms thick – is fueled by the hope of developing better performing sensors for health and environment, more economical solar energy, and higher performing and more energy efficient electronics than is possible with current silicon electronics.
Researchers have now developed uniformly nanoporous graphene as part of a national research collaboration in Spain. A significant step in graphene research, it will help us to explore the full potential of the material in electronics, filtration and sensing applications.
A method for measuring behavior & temperature of two-dimensional materials, enabling engineers to build smaller and faster microprocessors.
To observe the results of stacking 2D materials with other ultrathin materials, researchers have to monitor characteristics at microscale.
“Two-dimensional (2D) materials” — materials placed in layers that are just a few atoms thick — are favorable for high-performance electronics as well as flexible, transparent electronics that could be layered onto physical surfaces to render computing ubiquitous.
According to Rice University researchers, an atom-thick film of boron could be the first pure 2D material that is capable of discharging visible and near-infrared light by triggering its plasmons.
2D-materials are made up of special lattice structures. Generally, atoms in the same layer were bound by the covalent bond, while the force present between layers is van der Waals coupling. These materials comprise of super clean surfaces without any dangling bonds.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have been successfully assembled into devices with the tiniest possible manmade holes for water desalination.
An innovative study performed by researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has shown that the electrostatic charge that makes hair stand on end and attaches balloons to clothing can be efficiently used to drive futuristic atomically thin electronic memory devices.
The National Science Foundation has given the University of Illinois at Chicago a $1.44 million grant to discover new two-dimensional (2D) materials that can be used to manufacture greatly improved and cheaper batteries.
