Here, we report the preparation of a fluorinated hydrocarbon two-dimensional polymer that can be exfoliated into single sheets, and its characterization by high-resolution single-crystal X-ray ...

The discovery of chains of atoms in a two-dimensional crystal could help researchers control the properties of matter. By creating atomic chains in a two-dimensional crystal, researchers at Penn ...

The largest two-dimensional crystal of extremely cold, charged atoms ever created could be used to study poorly understood quantum materials, as well as for building quantum computers. Some ...

They discover that the topological properties of quasicrystals come from periodic patterns in 4D, revolutionizing optics and ...

A new material called glafene, created from graphene and quartz glass, is characterized by unique electronic behavior and ...

Electrons have been trapped within two-dimensional structures before, but this marks the first time that they have been imprisoned inside a three-dimensional crystal. Physicists trapped electrons ...

A hidden quantum phase was exposed after a group of scientists used a set of spectroscopic equipment in a two-dimensional crystal. The researchers from MIT and the University of Texas witnessed ...

Although it is possible to produce a moiré pattern at a two-dimensional interface within a three-dimensional ... the 2D moiré region would only comprise a small fraction of the total 3D crystal volume ...

Time-resolved vector 2PPE-PEEM imaging of a Q = –2 pentagonal plasmonic quasi ... was by referring to an "original" higher-dimensional crystal. This understanding agrees with the explanation ...

Graphene, a two-dimensional crystal of pure carbon, is a superlative material. It is the thinnest and strongest substance known to science – about 100 times stronger than steel by weight.

Although scientists knew one atom thick, two-dimensional crystal graphene existed, no-one had figured out how to extract it from graphite, until Professor Geim and Professor Novoselov’s groundbreaking ...
