TL;DR: This work demonstrates a general and scalable pathway to enable the high-temperature capacitive energy applications of a wide range of engineering polymers and also offers an efficient method for the synthesis and transfer of 2D nanomaterials at the scale demanded for applications.

TL;DR: This study presents dislocation motion, glide and climb, leading to grain boundary migration in a tungsten disulphide monolayer, and demonstrates how dislocations introduce considerable strain along the grain boundaries and at the dislocation cores.

TL;DR: This study demonstrates a unique approach to create atomically thin freestanding van der Waals heterostructures-WSe2/graphene and MoS2/ graphene-as ideal model systems to investigate the nucleation and growth mechanisms in heteroststructures and reveals the significant role of defects on the heterostructure growth.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined experimental and numerical modeling studies to investigate the key growth parameters that govern the morphology of 2D materials, and showed that the transition from vertical to horizontal growth is achieved by controlling the magnitude and distribution of the precursor concentration by placing the substrate at different orientations and locations relative to the source.

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the fabrication of individual nanopores in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) with atomically precise control of the pore shape and size, and demonstrates how the geometry of these pores can be altered beyond triangular by changing beam conditions.
