Plasmonics is a subfield of nanophotonics involving the study of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) 1,2,3. Quantum plasmonic nano-antennas have prominent applications in biosensing since they can ...

A team of international scientists investigating how to control the spin of atom-like impurities in 2-D materials have observed the dependence of the atom's energy on an external magnetic field for ...

They published their work on July. 6 in Energy Material Advances. "In 2017, we reported a new family of 2D transition metal borides as analogues to MXenes and coined a catchy name for them, MBenes," ...

Scientists have created a process to make patterns in atom-thick layers that combine a conductor -- graphene -- and an insulator -- hexagonal boron nitride. The process may lead to new possibilities ...

Tough, ultralight foam of atom-thick sheets can be made to any size and shape through a new chemical process. In microscopic images, the foam dubbed "GO-0.5BN" looks like a nanoscale building, with ...

Individual boron and nitrogen atoms are clearly distinguished by their intensity in Fig. 1. Each single hexagonal ring of the BN structure, for instance the one marked by the green circle in the ...

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), an insulating material only one atom thick, is suitable for industrial-scale production. It is used in semiconductor devices and enhances the performance of other 2D ...
