Conventional electronic devices rely on the generation, transport, manipulation, and detection of electric charge carriers, such as electrons and holes. Spintronics employs the intrinsic angular ...

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 ...

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 ...

2D materials are those that are made up entirely of their surface and are often only a single-atom thick. Not only are these new materials emerging at a relatively quick pace but they can be quite ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

Meet flatland’s latest resident: borophene, a sheet of boron just one atom thick. It joins a family of two-dimensional materials that has been flourishing ever since graphene, the granddaddy of them ...

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 ...
