Fluctuation-induced magnetoresistance in graphene Hall bars at charge neutrality

In the temperature interval T∼50 - 100 K, the rate of electron-electron collisions in graphene devices may exceed the momentum relaxation rate due to disorder and electron-phonon scattering. In this regime, the motion of the electron liquid may be described by the hydrodynamic equations. In the hydrodynamic…

Quantum materials QED with van der Waals crystals

A central goal of the emerging field of materials QED is to harness subwavelength electromagnetic confinement in engineered cavities to tailor light-matter interactions. Here, we demonstrate that van der Waals multilayer cavities composed of stacked graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) provide unprecedented…

Electrostatic Doping of Moiré Superlattices Controls the Optical Fingerprint of a WSe_2 /Twisted Bilayer Graphene heterostructure

We theoretically investigate the optical response of the WSe2 monolayer vertically stacked on twisted bilayer graphene (tBG) under electrostatic doping. In this heterostructure, the doped moiré superlattice of tBG generates a spatially modulated electrostatic potential that couples to the electron and hole constituents…

Layer-Asymmetry-Induced Topological Superconductivity in High-Tc Bilayer Nickelates

The recent discovery of high-Tc superconductivity in bilayer nickelates has highlighted the crucial role of interlayer coupling and motivated proposals for dominant interlayer pairing. Whether such pairing can support topological superconductivity, however, remains unexplored. Here, we demonstrate that…

Intertwined bulk photocarrier and interfacial barrier dynamics in van der Waals point-contact Schottky junctions

Schottky junctions based on transition-metal dichalcogenides underpin next-generation optoelectronic devices, yet the nanoscale carrier dynamics that ultimately govern their performance remain largely inaccessible. Here, we employ optical pump-probe time-resolved atomic force microscopy (OPP-TR-AFM) to investigate the…

Highly Efficient Functionalization of hBN with Lithium Oxalate: A Multifunctional Platform for Composites, Ion Transport, and Spin Labeling

Multifunctional solid-state materials are crucial for enabling safer and simpler lithium battery architectures. Here we report a scalable, solvent-free mechanochemical strategy to overcome the chemical inertness of hexagonal boron nitride and produce Li2(BN)6C2O4 (LBNCO), a lithium-rich boron nitride nanostructure.…

Cooperative Quantum Optical Effects of Moiré Exciton Superlattices

The unique properties of two-dimensional moiré systems have been widely studied from many perspectives. However, relatively little work has investigated how the real-space structure of moiré systems can directly engender novel properties and functionalities. In this Letter, we explore how intriguing cooperative optical…

Siroca's graphene-coated personal heater warms up in three seconds

Japanese appliance maker Siroca will launch a graphene-coated personal space heater, the "Sumipoka" (model SH-GC251), on October 16, priced at ¥13,860 (about US$88). The compact heater uses a graphene coating on its heating element to generate warmth within three seconds of being switched on, combining the material's…

Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”

Researchers have demonstrated that quantum fluctuations in supposedly empty space can strengthen superconductivity, raising the transition temperature of an ultrathin material by as much as 5.4%. The discovery opens the possibility of using specially engineered vacuum environments to control quantum materials without…

Record-setting proton acceleration achieved using ultrathin graphene laser targets

Researchers at the University of Osaka, working with collaborators across institutions in Japan, Taiwan, the UK, and France, have used an ultrathin, large-area suspended graphene target to accelerate protons to 132 MeV, nearly half the speed of light, in a laser-driven ion acceleration experiment. Laser-driven ion…

Dual Covalent and Spatial Sulfur Confinement in NTDA-Derived Graphene Frameworks for Photo/Biocatalytic Methanol Production and Oxathiolane Synthesis

Integrating heterogeneous photocatalysis with enzymatic redox transformations remains challenging due to inefficient cofactor regeneration and limited charge transport across hybrid interfaces. Herein, we report a sulfur-mediated covalent triazine framework (S/M-CTF) assembled by the cyclotrimerization of a…

X-ray Microscopy Reveals Distinct Nanoparticle Responses To Vortex Flow

Geometry-induced skin effect in electron hydrodynamics

In ultraclean 2D materials, electron viscosity is as important as Ohmic dissipation, and electron transport exhibits hydrodynamic features. Using a simple framework of Brinkman equations, we find that hydrodynamic electron flows give rise to a geometric skin effect: sharp obstacles locally enhance t… [Phys. Rev. B 114…

Valley-dependent electron optics using quantum dots in bilayer graphene

Electrostatically defined quantum dots (QDs) with layer-antisymmetric gating in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BLG) open a local gap and generate a masslike term with opposite sign in the two valleys, producing strongly valley-dependent scattering without magnetic fields, strain, or spin-orbit cou… [Phys.

Decoupling Thermal and Electronic Effects of Metal Contacts in Bilayer MoS2 Transistors

Contact resistance remains a primary bottleneck in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor field-effect transistors (FETs), yet the concurrent influence of metal work function, adhesion, and deposition temperature obscures the underlying mechanisms. Here, using bilayer MoS2 as a model system, we systematically benchmark…

Synthesis of Metal-Semiconductor Heterojunctions in Single Graphene Nanoribbons

Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) are a highly tunable class of one-dimensional (1D) quantum materials that can be fabricated through bottom-up synthesis. Precise control over GNR band gaps and band-edge alignments has established them as a promising nanoelectronics platform, but forming high-quality electronic interfaces…

Orbital angular momentum in crystalline solids: non-equilibrium theory

Weak non-Landau-type contributions to the diamagnetism of graphite

The exceptionally large diamagnetic susceptibility of a single-crystal graphite in the direction perpendicular to the graphene layers is caused by the Landau levels. However, there are also other contributions to the magnetic susceptibility. In particular, in metals the Pauli paramagnetism is leading, whereas in…

How this feed works

Every item comes from a public feed: 40 journal feeds, 78 arXiv categories and searches, and 19 science-news outlets. A keyword filter keeps the items that look like they are about 2D materials; in the last run 1,245 of the 3,872 entries it read passed. Several feeds carry the same paper, so after merging duplicates 1,690 items are listed here.

Audience, material and topic tags are assigned automatically from keyword rules, weighted by what each feed usually publishes. They are right most of the time and wrong some of the time, so use them to narrow the list rather than as a verdict.

Preprints come from arXiv and have not been peer reviewed. Summaries are the publisher’s or the authors’ own text, shortened; this site does not write or check them. Every title links to the original.

Publisher feeds only show their newest entries, so items are kept from earlier runs for 540 days. Last updated 5 October 2026.

Not covered

Some publishers cannot be read automatically, so their papers are missing here even when they are about 2D materials:

Left out on purpose, because almost nothing in them is about 2D materials: arXiv quant-ph, Scientific Reports.
