Scientists have made metal sheets that are just a few atoms thick. Using their new method, researchers developed 2D sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin, and lead that were hundreds of ...

For now, it's not known exactly what properties these exotically thin metal sheets may have, but their relatively large sizes are said to create new possibilities for practical applications.

Du says the process was conceived eight years ago, but only recently bore fruit when the team discovered that the MoS 2 layers kept the thin metal sheets stable. “A single layer of free-standing ...

A diagram shows how a thin film of patterned nitinol can be ... tumors — by spreading them like jam onto ultra-thin sheets of metal mesh, and then laying the mesh onto the tumors.

But if you want an impossible challenge, try assembling one of these intricate laser-cut metal puzzles that are ... they start off as flat thin sheets of pre-cut steel, but hundreds of folds ...
