Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) monolayers have attracted considerable interest as
atomically thin sp 2-hybridized sheets that are readily synthesized on various metal …

Twisted van der Waals (vdW) quantum materials have emerged as a rapidly developing field
of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. These materials establish a new central research …

Developing heterostructures with well-defined interfaces is attracting ever-increasing
interest toward the development of advanced electrocatalysts. Herein, hexagonal boron …

The Si‐based integrated circuits industry has been developing for more than half a century,
by focusing on the scaling‐down of transistor. However, the miniaturization of transistors will …

Moiré superlattices have recently become excellent platforms for studying new properties of
two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. With periodic moiré patterns, moiré superlattices …

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials launched a fascinating frontier of flatland
electronics. Most crystalline atomic layer materials are based on layered van der Waals …

Synthetic materials and heterostructures obtained by the controlled stacking of exfoliated
monolayers are emerging as attractive functional materials owing to their highly tunable …

The lattice mismatch between a monolayer of MoS 2 and its Au (111) substrate induces a
moiré superstructure. The local variation of the registry between sulfur and gold atoms at the …

Monolayer PtTe2 is a narrow gap semiconductor while Pt2Te2 is a metal. Here we show that
the former can be transformed into the latter by reaction with vapor-deposited Pt atoms. The …

With the development of advanced manufacturing, superlubricity, with a friction coefficient
smaller than 0.001, is highly expected at the contacting surfaces. It has been revealed that …
