Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an ...

A single layer of atoms may seem too thin to meaningfully interact with light, yet materials like tungsten disulfide are reshaping what is possible in nanophotonics. Researchers have now found a way ...

A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin ...

Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies.

By cooling an atom-thin magnetic material, physicists have experimentally confirmed a classic 1970s model of two-dimensional ...

Physicists confirmed the full two-dimensional six-state clock model in atomically thin nickel phosphorus trisulfide, ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — A ray of light may be key to fighting cancer. Researchers with the University of Texas and University of Porto in Portugal have revealed a new tool in the healthcare battle: LEDs and ...

Scientists demonstrated a conceptual breakthrough by fabricating atomically precise quantum antidots using self-assembled single vacancies in a two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide.

With $1.8 million from the National Science Foundation’s second Future of Semiconductor program (FuSe2), the University of Kansas and the University of Houston will collaborate to develop atomically ...

Epitaxy forms the basis of modern electronics and optoelectronics. We report coherent atomically thin superlattices in which different transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers—despite large lattice ...
