When it comes to new materials, thin is most definitely in. Brazilian researchers have created a new two-dimensional material called hematene, which is made up of sheets of iron ore just three atoms ...

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 ...

Mori3's triangular, modular design allows it to fuse with its companions, and could one day make it into space. By Andrew Paul Published Jun 13, 2023 10:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily ...

Researchers in Germany and Australia have grown two-dimensional materials directly on optical fibres for the first time, creating a new hybrid platform with possible applications in a host of ...

Scientists can have ambitious goals: curing disease, exploring distant worlds, clean-energy revolutions. In physics and materials research, some of these ambitious goals are to make ordinary-sounding ...
