In recent years, engineers have found ways to modify the properties of some "two- dimensional" materials, which are just one or a few atoms thick, by stacking two layers together and rotating one ...

A research team led by Professors Pengwei Li, Yanlin Song, and Yiqiang Zhang has advanced quasi-2D alternating-cation-interlayer (ACI) perovskite solar cells by introducing a dicyandiamide (DCD)-based ...

Molecular 2D materials find immense applications in materials science, owing to their wide structural variety and easy controllability. Establishing a simple and efficient method for their synthesis ...

Researchers report that it is possible to imbue graphite -- the bulk, 3D material found in No. 2 pencils -- with physical properties similar to graphite's 2D counterpart, graphene. Not only was this ...
