The isolation of graphene in 2004 from graphite was a defining moment for the “birth” of a
field: two-dimensional (2D) materials. In recent years, there has been a rapidly increasing …

The field of two-dimensional (2D) and layered materials continues to excite many
researchers around the world who are eager to advance and innovate viable routes for large …

Graphene and two-dimensional materials (2DM) remain an active field of research in
science and engineering over 15 years after the first reports of 2DM. The vast amount of …

Since the discovery of graphene just over a decade ago, 2D materials have been a central
focus of materials research and engineering because of their unique properties and …

This themed issue is about two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
and graphene. Since Novoselov, Geim and co-workers successfully prepared graphene …

The exfoliation and identification of the two-dimensional (2D) single atomic layer of carbon
have opened the opportunity to explore graphene and related 2D materials due to their …

This review is an attempt to illustrate the different alternatives in the field of 2D materials.
Graphene seems to be just the tip of the iceberg and we show how the discovery of …

The discovery of graphene opened a door for manufacturing and investigating two-
dimensional (2D) materials. After more than ten years of development, 2D materials have …

Graphene's success has shown that it is possible to create stable, single and few-atom-thick
layers of van der Waals materials, and also that these materials can exhibit fascinating and …

Discovery of graphene and its astonishing properties have given birth to a new class of
materials known as “2D materials”. Motivated by the success of graphene, alternative …
