Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new technique to better understand how electrons interact within materials. By ...

To study the interactions between electrons in a material, physicists have come up with a number of tricks over the years.

Below the twisted boron nitride the researchers place an atomic layer of the semiconductor molybdenum diselenide. The electric field acts on the electrons inside the molybdenum diselenide and thus ...

A research team has successfully developed a new synthesis technology for 2D semiconductors. This technique enables the ...

A multi-institutional research team has engineered a way to preserve the electrical properties of materials as they are shrunk to the nanoscale. The use of the soft substrate hexagonal boron nitride ...

Researchers at the University had asked the question – could self-rotation occur in heterostructures, when different crystals are stacked together such as graphene on boron nitride? It was found that ...

For example, in 2023 they created a sandwich of rhombohedral pentalayer graphene with “buns” made of hexagonal boron nitride (Nature Nanotechnology, "Correlated insulator and Chern insulators in ...

This technique, for example, could be used in autonomous robotic manipulation of two-dimensional crystals to build van der Waals superlattices ... top and bottom encapsulating layers of hexagonal ...
