They are among the thinnest structures on earth: "two-dimensional materials" are crystals which consist of only one or a few layers of atoms. They often display unusual properties, promising many new applications in opto-electronics and energy technology. One of these materials is 2-D-molybdenum sulphide, an atomically thin layer of molybdenum and sulphur atoms. https://phys.org/news/2018-08-two-dimensional-materials.html Nanomaterials Wed, 29 Aug 2018 10:34:36 EDT news454757671 Scientists have managed to separate two liquids in a mixture using a laser, which they claim will lead to new ways of manipulating matter and creating crystals for industry. https://phys.org/news/2018-03-un-mixing-lasers-crystals.html Materials Science Tue, 06 Mar 2018 12:47:17 EST news439562825 The next time you light a candle and switch on your television ready for a relaxing evening at home, just think.
