TL;DR: In this article, structural defects in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been studied and the authors provide a comprehensive understanding of structural defects and the pathways to generating structural defects during and after synthesis.

TL;DR: While the primary focus of this review is on the science framework of SWCNT growth, connections to mechanisms underlying the synthesis of other 1D and 2D materials such as boron nitride nanotubes and graphene are drawn.

TL;DR: Strain engineering of α-formamidinium lead iodide (α-FAPbI 3) is investigated using both experimental techniques and theoretical calculations, and it is demonstrated that a compressive strain effectively changes the crystal structure, reduces the bandgap and increases the hole mobility of α -FAPBI 3.

TL;DR: A complete review of emerging applications in electronics, sensing, spintronics, plasmonics, photodetectors, ultrafast lasers, batteries, supercapacitors, and thermoelectrics is presented by application type, including detailed descriptions of how the material properties may be tailored toward each specific application.

TL;DR: An Autonomous Research System (ARES), a robot guided by artificial intelligence in an iterative learning loop that is capable of designing, executing and analyzing its own experiments orders of magnitude faster than current research methods, is built.
