When materials are created on a nanometer scale—just a handful of atoms thick—even the thermal energy present at room ...

Zhang Guangyu, corresponding author of the study, said the research pushes the thickness of 2D metal materials to the angstrom scale ... with only one or a few atomic layers.

Now, however, researchers from the Institute of Physics (IOP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a convenient, universal, atomic-level manufacturing technique—called vdW squeezing—for ...

atomic-level manufacturing technique—called vdW squeezing—for the production of 2D metals at the angstrom thickness limit. This study was recently published in Nature. The manufacturing ...

Total reaction, interaction, and charge-changing cross sections, which are kinds of cross sections standing for total nuclear collision probability in medium-to high-energy region from a few to ...

Imagine being able to deposit a film of material just a few atomic layers at a time. As impossible as that sounds, atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a reality. In fact, it’s being used in an ...
