Two-dimensional (2D) materials show great promise for photocatalysis, a key technology for sustainable energy solutions like water splitting. However, optimizing their performance requires precise ...

In biology, defects are generally bad. But in materials science, defects can be intentionally tuned to give materials useful new properties. Today, atomic-scale defects are carefully introduced during ...

An international research team has pioneered a new technique to identify and characterize atomic-scale defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), a two-dimensional (2D) material often dubbed 'white ...

Multiferroic metals are materials that exhibit both electric polarization and magnetic order in the same crystal—a state ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...
