Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) researchers have discovered a fast, simple, and cheap way to make ...

A team of physicists uncovered a strange twist in how superconductors behave when they’re reduced to just a few atomic layers ...

When materials are created on a nanometer scale—just a handful of atoms thick—even the thermal energy present at room ...

Thin film devices, composed of layers of materials a few nanometers thick, play an important role in various technologies, ...

Dendritic structures that emerge during the growth of thin films are a major obstacle in large-area fabrication, a key step towards commercialization. However, current methods of studying dendrites ...

The use of the soft substrate hexagonal boron nitride reduces damage to the atomic structure caused by strain, allowing materials to keep their conductive properties as films as thin as 12 nm.

A team of researchers from Saarland University in Germany has found a way to turn super-thin, stretchy films—about the thickness of kitchen cling wrap—into smart materials that can bring everyday ...
