For now, it's not known exactly what properties these exotically thin metal sheets may have, but their relatively large sizes are said to create new possibilities for practical applications.

Taking inspiration from industrial forging, researchers have demonstrated a way to squeeze molten metals into atomically-thin layers, creating relatively large flakes of 2D metals. Using a ...

To squeeze the metal, the researchers used two extremely flat sapphire crystals with a thin layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) as the jaws of a vice. They placed powdered metal between these ...
