Figure 1: Gate-controlled intercalation in a 1T-TaS 2-based iFET. Figure 2: CDW phases in pristine 1T-TaS 2 thin flakes with varying thicknesses. Figure 3: Gate-modulation depth and repeatability ...

However, researchers at MIT have discovered that both these contradictory properties live side by side in a rare form of ...

Placing the adhesive tape on the graphite, they managed to rip off thin flakes of carbon. In the beginning they got flakes consisting of many layers of graphene. But as they repeated the process ...

Wafer-thin gold flakes emit a faint glimmer after being hit with a laser, and researchers are starting to understand why. Gold flakes are widely used in nanoscience, so the new knowledge should ...

To produce a 2D material, researchers have typically employed a manual process by which an atom-thin flake is carefully exfoliated from a bulk material, like peeling away the layers of an onion.

Figure 1: An atomically thin flake of tungsten diselenide acts as a reservoir for excitons, which are made up of electrons (red) and holes (blue). These excitons ...
