This next generation of 2D-2D heterostructures goes beyond van der Waals thanks to the strong covalent bonds between its 2D materials. Combining the best of different crystals to obtain the ...

As published in Nano Letters, by using chemical conversion, the team at the University were able to convert layers of existing layered materials into a new covalent two-dimensional material. As an ...
