MIT researchers have reported a new way to grow moiré crystals from atomically thin materials at scale, a development that could ease a major fabrication bottleneck in two-dimensional electronics. In the same study, the team found electronic behavior that maps onto a synthetic fourth dimension, opening a new route for quantum materials research.
MIT researchers say they have found a scalable chemical route to grow high-quality moiré crystals, a development that could help move two-dimensional quantum materials beyond hand-built laboratory devices.
Rice University researchers have reported a new multilayer two-dimensional perovskite with near-perfect symmetry at room temperature, a structure that allowed excitons to travel more than 2 micrometers and improved proof-of-concept photodetector performance.
Penn State researchers report a dual-gated graphene transistor that stayed stable in liquid-rich environments and improved sensing sensitivity up to 20 times in lab tests, pointing to a more practical route for portable biosensors and chemical monitors.
A February 2026 study in Nature reports a transfer technique that helps create cleaner graphene and hexagonal boron nitride interfaces, potentially improving the fabrication of next-generation 2D electronic devices.
