New work shows that this particular sandwich of graphene and boron nitride elicits properties that are suitable for use in new technological applications.
Researchers used the relatively straightforward process of thermomechanical nanomolding to create single-crystalline nanowires that can enable metastable phases that would otherwise be difficult to achieve with conventional methods.
Researchers have successfully synthesized barium titanate nanosheets with a thickness of 1.8 nanometers, the thinnest thickness ever created for a free-standing film. Given that thickness is related to functionality, their findings open the door to smaller, more efficient devices.
