The twisted spirals made in this work exhibit interesting, tuneable superconductive properties. Courtesy: S Jin Researchers have found a way to grow layers of two-dimensional (2D) materials with ...

There are 2D materials that are good semiconductors, though, like molybdenum disulfide or tungsten diselenide. “They offer very stable electrical performance even below one nanometer,” Kim said.

Creating two-dimentional materials large enough to use in electronics is a challenge despite huge effort but now, Penn State researchers have discovered a method for improving the quality of one ...

In terms of crystal size and crystalline quality, so-called spiral growth has an advantage over 2D nucleation. However, the larger a protein crystal becomes, the less frequently the spiral growth ...
