Scientists have made metal sheets that are just a few atoms thick. Using their new method, researchers developed 2D sheets of bismuth, gallium, indium, tin, and lead that were hundreds of thousands of ...

Following our recent report of a super-fast new transistor from Peking University, not to mention a Chinese EUV lithography machine to rival that of ASML, this latest innovation from ye olde People's ...

Aluminium drinks cans make a great source of thin sheet metal which can be used for all manner of interesting projects, but it’s safe to say that retrieving a sheet of metal from a can is a ...

In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, the researchers said that compared to their bulkier counterparts, their ultra-thin metal sheets – especially one-atom-thick bismuth – showed ...

Sheet metal is very easy to form, including the pressing in of intricate shapes with dies and a hydraulic press, but the dies themselves are slightly harder to come by. What if we could 3D print ...

an atomically thin layer of carbon. “This is just a starting point,” he says. “Now, other people can step in and start studying” the metal sheets’ properties. The properties of 2D ...
