A new method called vdW squeezing enables the creation of stable, atomically thin 2D metals, opening doors to advanced ...

Published in Nature on Thursday, this research by the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, pushes the thickness of 2D metal materials to the angstrom scale (1 Å equals 0.1 nanometer ...

"Previously, thin metal layers on a small scale were highly unstable ... As mentioned in the release, these 2D metals have a thickness equal to a single atom, measuring just one-millionth the ...
