Scientists have made metal sheets that are just ... Chinese scientists’ new process for squeezing metals down to atomic thicknesses uses a benchtop hydraulic press. Their low-tech approach ...

Taking inspiration from ancient techniques, researchers have forged relatively large sheets of metal that are just atoms thick, enabling them to more readily study the weird properties of these ...

Sheets of metal just two atoms thick can be produced by squashing molten droplets at great pressure between two sapphires. The researchers who developed the process say the unusual materials could ...
