A fascinating material: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a very important material for the large and thriving field of two-dimensional (2D) materials research and emerging new devices. The challenge: ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are typically almost impossible to detect with standard optical microscopes. The team ...

Due to their unique properties, 2D materials, which consist of a single layer of atoms, are increasingly being used in optoelectronic devices, as quantum light sources and in integrated circuits.

Controlling light is an important technological challenge—not just at the large scale of optics in microscopes and telescopes ...

(Nanowerk News) Using an ultrafast transmission electron microscope, researchers from the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology have, for the first time, recorded the propagation of combined sound ...

Haozhe “Harry” Wang’s electrical and computer engineering lab at Duke welcomed an unusual new lab member this fall: artificial intelligence. Using publicly available AI foundation models such as ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...
