TL;DR: The epitaxial films of lead and indium represent the thinnest superconductors possible as discussed by the authors, and have been shown to have superconductivity on silicon substrates.

TL;DR: In situ angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy measurement reveals that the as-grown Bi2Te3 films are intrinsic topological insulators and the single-Dirac-cone surface state develops at a thickness of two quintuple layers.

TL;DR: In this article, the elastic constants and electronic structures of two-dimensional monolayer MoS 2 under elastic strain using the first-principles calculations were analyzed and the in-plane stiffness and Poisson ratio calculated in the harmonic elastic strain range were found to be 123 N/m and 0.25, indicating that monollayer MoS2 is much softer than graphene.

TL;DR: Topological insulator thin films of Bi2Te3 with controlled electronic structure can be grown by regulating the molecular beam epitaxy growth kinetics without any extrinsic doping, a step toward controlling topological surface states.

TL;DR: The structural analyses demonstrate that single crystal monolayer graphene with a lateral size of 1.9 mm can be grown on the copper foils under the optimized growth condition and the mobility of such single crystal graphene is around 2400 cm2/Vs.
