Optoelectronic synaptic devices, particularly those based on two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), emulate biological synaptic functions, promising in neuromorphic computing. However, most TMD-based synapses rely on external gate or bias control, leading to complicated device architecture and…

The agreement pairs First Graphene's proprietary epoxy concentrates, developed to optimize how PureGRAPH® graphene is incorporated…
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…
A central goal of the emerging field of materials QED is to harness subwavelength electromagnetic confinement in engineered cavities to tailor light-matter interactions.

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…
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…
Periodically strained graphene provides a versatile platform to realize moiré-like electronic structures. We show that the interplay between strain-induced pseudomagnetic field and a displacement-field-controlled scalar potential enables the formation of isolated narrow bands. Some of the low-energy bands are…
Optical polarization is a key degree of freedom in quantum photonic and sensing technologies, enabling efficient light--matter coupling and directional emission. However, in defect ensemble-based quantum systems, orientational averaging across many defects suppresses optical anisotropy and eliminates a deterministic…
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.…
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…
Nonlinear metasurfaces (NMSs) enable simultaneous generation and manipulation of harmonic light with ultrathin nanophotonic platforms.

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…
Transition metal ditellurides exhibit structural and electronic properties distinct from their selenide and sulfide counterparts, including the stabilization of multiple charge density wave (CDW) phases. Within the niobium compound family, notable differences in structure are also observed: bulk NbTe2 crystallizes in…

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…

We report a facile and phosphine-free colloidal synthesis…
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…
The discovery of spin-density-wave (SDW) order in bilayer nickelates has intensified interest in its interplay with superconductivity. Unlike cuprates, where doping rapidly suppresses the Néel temperature, the SDW transition temperature (TSDW) in bilayer nickelates is robust against oxygen annealing and even increases…
No items match these filters.
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.
Some publishers cannot be read automatically, so their papers are missing here even when they are about 2D materials:
