A new carbon-based material, monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC), is revolutionizing materials science. Unlike graphene, which ...

Researchers have found that a two-dimensional carbon material is tougher than graphene and resists cracking—even the ...

The unexpected result started a debate in the community because theory predicted that it would take billions of years for a proton to permeate through graphene’s dense crystalline structure. This had ...

Like graphene, MAC is also a 2D or single atom-thick material. But unlike graphene where atoms are arranged in an ordered ⎯ ...

Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice (arrangement ... are stacked on top of one another to create a new structure known as a moiré structure.

The study identifies monolayer amorphous carbon (MAC) as a breakthrough in material science, exhibiting superior toughness ...

Even the strongest crack under pressure, a problem materials scientists have long been grappling with. For instance, ...

There are two typical strategies to achieve tunable properties in metamaterials: mechanical reconstruction and changing the lattice ... Incorporating graphene into metamaterial structures can ...

The Würzburg model system consisting of two nanographene layers that can absorb and bind chloride ions (green) through a defect in the crystal lattice. Graphene is an extremely thin, flexible and ...
