In an article published in the journal Nature on Thursday, the researchers said that compared to their bulkier counterparts, their ultra-thin metal sheets – especially one-atom-thick bismuth ...

Now, they are replacing it with an ultrathin metal coating, which allows faster movement and lower energy use. This new coating is applied using a method called sputtering, where a super-thin ...

For now, it's not known exactly what properties these exotically thin metal sheets may have, but their relatively large sizes are said to create new possibilities for practical applications.

Developed by researchers from Chinese Academy of Physics, the ultra-thin metal sheets also offer exceptionally high electrical conductivity. Scientists have revealed that once metals are thinned ...

After significantly overhauling copper blocks in Minecraft's 1.21 Tricky Trials update, Mojang should follow suit with the game's other metal and gemstone blocks, like iron, gold, and diamond ...
