Nanosheets generated by ultrasonic pulses allow new designs of computing devices, sensors, batteries | KurzweilAI

Nanosheets generated by ultrasonic pulses allow new designs of computing devices, sensors, batteries | KurzweilAI: "There are over 150 of these exotic layered materials — such as Boron Nitride, Molybdenum disulfide, and Tungsten disulfide — that have the potential to be metallic, semi-metallic or semiconducting, depending on their chemical composition and how their atoms are arranged.

For decades researchers have tried to create nanosheets of these kind of materials as arranging them in atom-thick layers would enable us to unlock their unusual electronic and thermoelectric properties. However, all previous methods were extremely time consuming and laborious and the resulting materials were fragile and unsuited to most applications."
