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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

(Nanowerk News) A new 2D quantum material has been discovered. The material consists of atom-thin layers of cerium, silicon and iodine (CeSiI) and is the first example of a 2D material with heavy ...

Scientists have discovered that a "single atomic defect" in a layered 2D material can hold onto quantum information for microseconds at room temperature, underscoring the potential of 2D materials in ...

In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for silicon and enable the further advancement of electronic devices. Two-dimensional ...

As silicon-based computer chips approach their physical limitations in the quest for faster and smaller designs, the search for alternative materials that remain functional at atomic scales is one 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 ...

The largest two-dimensional crystal of extremely cold, charged atoms ever created could be used to study poorly understood quantum materials, as well as for building quantum computers. Some crystals ...

Recent advances in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have opened new exciting possibilities for the rapid analysis of ...
