Sunlight squeezes more efficiency out of 2D perovskite solar cells

Sunlight can contract the space between atomic layers in 2D perovskites, improving the material’s photovoltaic efficiency by up to 18%.

Quantum effects ensure no friction with 2D magnetic material

Researchers have reported the first measurements of the ultra-low-friction behavior of a 2D material known as magnetene.

Defective 2D material makes effective catalyst support

Researchers turned an inert 2D material into a chemically active catalytic support by covering it in tiny holes filled with precious metal atoms.

Uniform approach to preventing avalanches in glassy materials

Removing tiny irregularities in local densities can help prevent the atomic 'avalanches' that cause glassy materials to transform into crystal.
