TL;DR: Using conductive atomic force microscopy (c-AFM), for the first time, this work directly confirms the conjecture that the electrical conductivity of physisorbed 2D material-metal/semiconductor interfaces is determined by the local electronic charge transfer and demonstrates that the electronic chargeTransfer can be fine-tuned by the topological defects of 2D materials and the atomic stacking with respect to the substrate.

TL;DR: This real-space model unravels the atomic-level spatial modulation of contact conductance, and the twist angle-dependent interlayer conductance between misoriented graphene layers, through atomically resolved conductive atomic force microscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the CVD growth of scalable single-crystalline graphene by seamless stitching millimeter-sized unidirectional aligned hexagonal domains using different types of commercial Cu foils without repeated substrate polishing and H2-annealing processes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used molecular dynamics simulations to reveal that a periodic offset modulation in lateral force is produced when a tip slides over graphene with varying height, due to geometric undulation of graphene due to its different stacking states on the substrate.

TL;DR: A synergistic enhancement mechanism due to the elasticity of silk fibres is revealed, deepening the understanding of the working principles of spider silk and suggesting guidelines for biomimetic designs of spider-inspired adhesion and capture devices.
