Containing 'electromagnetic pollution' with MXenes
New findings suggest that a few-atoms thin titanium carbide, one of about 20 two-dimensional materials of MXene family, can be more effective at blocking and containing electromagnetic interference, with the added benefit of being extremely thin and easily applied in a coating just by spraying it onto any surface - like paint.
