Researchers at the University of Oxford and collaborators have used femtosecond laser pulses to activate individual ...

image: Defect engineering is an effective strategy to modify 2D materials for enhanced HER activity. By structuring edge defects, vacancy defects and dopant derived defects, the electronic structure ...

Researchers at the Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics have shown that defects in monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) exhibit electrical switching, providing new insights into the ...

A newly discovered carbon-based defect in the two-dimensional material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) could be used as a quantum sensor to detect magnetic fields in any direction – a feat that is not ...

A new study led by researchers at the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge and Manchester has achieved a major advance in quantum materials, developing a method to precisely engineer single quantum ...
