Perovskites are among the most researched topics in materials science. Recently, a research team has solved an age-old challenge to synthesize all-organic two-dimensional perovskites, extending the ...
The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...
A U.S.-French research group has developed a 2D perovskite solar cell with enhanced electron flow and a threefold increase in the electron conduction of the perovskite material. Perovskite cells built ...
In order to realize their commercial use, the prerequisite is large-scale production. Bottom-up strategies like chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and chemical synthesis have been extensively explored ...
The recent progress on two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals ferroelectrics may revolutionize the applications of ferroelectric (FE) materials in nanoelectronics. Their atomic-thickness renders ...
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors, materials that can conduct electricity and are only a few atoms thick, are promising alternatives to the conventional silicon-based semiconductors currently used ...
Twisted electronics: Columbia University researchers have shown that they can fine-tune the electronic, mechanical, and optical properties of 2D heterostructures like graphene on boron nitride by ...
In recent years, heat has stopped being just a number on a thermometer and has become something we can literally see at the atomic scale. In 2025, an ...
A single-layer planar carbon sheet with four- and eight-membered rings, known as T-graphene, could be an intrinsic elemental 2D superconductor with a superconducting transition temperature (T c) of ...
