  • Pohang University and University of Montpellier researchers synthesize AA-stacked hBN, revealing novel stacking control methods for advanced 2D materials.

The article from MSN discusses a breakthrough in materials science where researchers have developed a method to engineer tailored configurations in van der Waals (vdW) materials. These materials, known for their weak interlayer forces, can now be manipulated at the atomic level to create specific structural configurations. This advancement involves using a combination of mechanical exfoliation and precise stacking techniques to control the twist angle and stacking order between layers of vdW materials like graphene or transition metal dichalcogenides. Such control allows for the tuning of electronic, optical, and magnetic properties, potentially leading to innovations in electronics, photonics, and quantum computing. The research highlights the potential for creating custom electronic devices with properties not found in naturally occurring materials, by designing the atomic structure to meet specific technological needs.
