The team’s results are the first case of a 3D crystal with that property ... If you just want to make your own metal crystals, you can, but don’t expect exotic properties.

A research team has successfully developed a new synthesis technology for 2D semiconductors. This technique enables the ...

Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other layers during the crystal's formation; sometimes there are holes where atoms are missing. Later, after the metal has solidified ...

Researchers introduce the hypotaxy technique for growth of wafer-scale single-crystal 2D semiconductors, overcoming the limitations of existing processes.

A MARKED increase of electrical conductance on forming crystal compounds of graphite ... molecules and atoms such as potassium were metallic in character. Existing evidence indicated that electron ...

The results of the study were published in the scientific journal Nature ("Two-dimensional polyaniline crystal with metallic out-of-plane conductivity"). Schematic representation of the process for ...
