Synthesis of large-area 2D material: Atomic layer pushes surface steps away

Elbow mentality in a two-dimensional material: While growing, the material simply pushes interfering steps on the substrate out of the way.

Why do some alloys become stronger at room temperature?

Age hardening and creating strong metal mixtures are clearly very important in an industrial context. But very few researchers and people in the industry have cared much about what the clusters actually consist of. They were simply too small to prove.

Novel nanocomposite removes copper and arsenic to avoid livestock industry contamination

Researchers have develop a nanocomposite to remove Cu(II) and As(III) simultaneously.

Nanoantennas pave the way to compact petahertz oscilloscopes

A team of researchers has succeeded in generating electron pulses with a duration of only a few hundred attoseconds on metallic nanoantennas and used them to measure extremely weak electric fields.

Watching the evolution of nanostructures in thin films

Scientists have found a way to turn X-ray fluorescence into an ultra-high position-sensitive probe to measure internal nanostructures in thin films that can be a hundred times finer than a human hair.

Synthesis method expands material possibilities

Scientists are making functional inorganic and 'hybrid' materials - those containing both inorganic and organic components - with tunable properties for a wide range of applications, including microelectronics, sensing, and clean energy.

Online talk: What are 2D materials good for?

The grand finale of CARBONLINEHAGEN 2021 is approaching. Monday, April 26, 16.00 CET will be the last talk this year, and will end with a topic most of us are - or should be - interested in: what 2D materials are good for.
