An international team has created two-dimensional hematene, an atomically thin form of the common iron oxide known as hematite. The new material shows promise for 2-D magnetism and efficient ...

(Nanowerk News) The general public might think of the 21st century as an era of revolutionary technological platforms, such as smartphones or social media. But for many scientists, this century is the ...

Graphene is a bit like the Novak Djokovic of materials – it’s so damn talented that each new achievement feels passé. But now, an exciting new upstart is challenging graphene’s title. Meet goldene, a ...

Chemists have discovered that pointy gold tetrahedrons self-assemble into 2D chiral superlattices. The structures could be useful metamaterials. Tetrahedron-shaped nanoparticles are interesting enough ...

The electric, magnetic, physical or chemical properties of a 3D material can radically change when it's reduced to two dimensions – graphene, the versatile 2D form of graphite, is probably the best ...
