have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

Researchers have developed a way to visualise boron nitride layers that are one atom thick. These ultrathin sheets are typically almost impossible to detect with standard optical microscopes. The team ...

(Nanowerk News) Australian researchers and their colleagues from Russia and China have shown that it is possible to study the magnetic properties of ultrathin materials directly, via a new microscopy ...

Magnetism in two-dimensional materials is difficult to characterize because the materials’ extreme thinness renders conventional techniques ineffective. Researchers in Australia, Russia and China have ...

An instrument error can lead to complete misidentification of certain crystals, reports a KAUST study that suggests researchers need to exercise caution when using ...

A fascinating material: Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a very important material for the large and thriving field of two-dimensional (2D) materials research and emerging new devices. The challenge: ...

Widefield nitrogen-vacancy microscope solves problem of there being no way to tell exactly how strongly magnetic a 2D material was. Australian researchers and their colleagues from Russia and China ...

Researchers from the Physical Chemistry and Theory departments at the Fritz Haber Institute have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is ...
