(Nanowerk News) The development of an ultrathin magnet that operates at room temperature could lead to new applications in computing and electronics - such as high-density, compact spintronic memory ...

Two-dimensional materials are only a few atoms thick yet hold great promise for the electronics of tomorrow. Because they are so thin, they can be piled in strange, twisted configurations that yield ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

In a breakthrough that could open up exciting new possibilities in computing and electronics, scientists in the US have developed a two-dimensional magnetic material that is the thinnest in the world.

Austrian scientists have achieved a breakthrough by embedding individual platinum atoms into an ultrathin material and pinpointing their positions within the lattice with atomic precision for the ...

Two-dimensional (2D) metals, similar to graphene, are one-atom-thick elemental metals that exhibit unique properties due to ...

Engineers fabricated 2D materials that could lead to next-generation transistors and electronic films. True to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the ...

A technique that introduces carbon-hydrogen molecules into a single atomic layer of the semiconducting material tungsten disulfide dramatically changes the electronic properties of the material, ...

Researchers have created the world's "thinnest unsupported gold" that is just two atoms thick. A team from the University of Leeds in the U.K. say the material measures only 0.47 nanometers in ...

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 ...
