(Nanowerk Spotlight) Beginning with the first demonstration of graphene in 2004, research into 2D layered materials has evolved into a large and thriving scientific community encompassing more than ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials that are only one or a few atoms thick. Overall, 2D materials resemble a thin sheet of paper, where the thickness of one axis is on the ...

Heterostructure catalysis is an emerging field that focuses on the design and application of catalytic materials composed of two or more distinct components with different chemical compositions, ...

Researchers at Penn State have created a type of heterostructure by layering two-dimensional materials atom thick. Researchers on the project believe the recent synthesis of the one-dimensional van ...
