Two-dimensional (2D) materials, which are based on thin films of layered semiconductors, have gathered a lot of attention for optoelectronic applications.
Using an experimental method that leverages X-rays scattered from a sample, Researchers at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have devised a method for testing proteins that is about 50 times faster than conventional methods.
Cuprate superconductors, comprised of copper oxides, have emerged as an intriguing electronic system as a result of its extremely high boiling temperature that exceeds that of liquid nitrogen, as well as its unique crystalline structure.
