An Australian-US team has devised a way to make a broad class of atomically thin metal oxides, including 2D versions of materials already in use by the electronics industry. Their secret is a room temperature liquid metal.
Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors made of materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are forming the future of electronic devices.
Science fiction is inching closer to reality with the development of revolutionary self-propelling liquid metals – a critical step towards future elastic electronics.
