A new study shows how the ability of 2D materials to convert sunlight into electricity can be controlled by simply 'twisting' the angle between two ultra-thin layers correctly.
Scientists achieve remarkable precision in measuring atomic displacements by combining electron microscopy with a technique borrowed from data science.
The bottleneck in atomic-scale data storage area may be broken by a simple technique, thanks to recent innovative studies. Through a simple, efficient and low-cost technique involving the focused laser beam and ozone treatment, researchers can manipulate the properties of nanomaterials, thereby 'writing' information onto monolayer materials. The result is a demonstration of the thinnest light disk with rewritable data storage and encryption functionalities at the atomic level.
