Chinese scientists ‘squeeze’ metals to atomic scale in groundbreaking method

SMRTR summary

Chinese scientists developed a "vdW squeezing" method to produce ultra-thin 2D metals at atomic-scale thickness. The technique creates stable, highly conductive metal sheets just 2-3 atoms thick, overcoming previous challenges in separating metal layers and enabling new research into 2D metal properties.
