#2D materials

Researchers say a newly reported 2D material shows promise for ultrathin waveplates, raising the prospect of smaller polarization-control components for imaging, displays, and satellite systems.

Materials scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign say they have artificially generated a highly charged domain wall by interfacing two materials, a first for the field.

Edinburgh researchers created stable magnetic skyrmions stretching 300 nanometers by twisting atomically thin chromium triiodide layers, opening a path to low-power spintronic devices.
