Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a groundbreaking method to transform graphite into materials with ...

Van der Waals heterostructures are engineered by stacking different van der Waals materials in a controlled sequence, allowing the creation of new materials with tailored properties. This technique ...

Definition: Van der Waals materials encompass a broad category of layered substances, including individual van der Waals materials and their engineered stacks known as van der Waals heterostructures, ...

Different stacks in 2D van der Waals materials affected by this phenomenon, dubbed "sliding ferroelectricity," are related by a large, device-scale shift of two layers by several angstroms. Past ...

For the development of van der Waals thin films with high electronic performance, mechanical stretchability, and permeability for highly flexible, adaptable and breathable bioelectronic membranes. The ...

This next generation of 2D-2D heterostructures goes beyond van der Waals thanks to the strong covalent bonds between its 2D materials. Combining the best of different crystals to obtain the ...

The functioning of this valve, introduced in a paper published in Nature Electronics, relies only on the proximity to the van der Waals magnet Cr 2 Ge 2 Te 6. "The field of spintronics has evolved ...

However, a more viable transformation, according to Prof. Moshe Ben Shalom, head of the Quantum Layered Matter Group at Tel Aviv University, involves reconfiguring graphite’s atomic layers by subtly ...
