Researchers have successfully developed a rapid and scalable evaporation-induced method to create continuous, uniform thin films of mesoporous amorphous metal-organic frameworks (aMOFs). The research ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

Most machines that grow atom-thin films top out around 2,000 Kelvin. That temperature ceiling locks researchers out of an entire class of ultra-refractory compounds, the very materials that physicists ...

Making 'atomic lasagna': New method transforms 3D materials into stable layered thin films with promising properties by Natasha Headland, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Editors' notes Add as ...

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has emerged as the principal technique for synthesising high-quality graphene films over large areas. In a typical process, hydrocarbon gases decompose on the surface ...
