In history, the synthesis of key materials, such as bronze, steel, polymer, and silicon, represents the most advanced technology of human society. Until now, the discovery of a new material and the development of materials highly depends on... Read More
The atomic thick two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising for many applications, such as faster and energy-saving electronic devices, more efficient catalysts, and high energy density batteries. To fully utilize the advantages of these... Read More
The thinnest material, graphene, is the most promising materials for many applications, such as in electronics, energy storage and etc. For high performance electronic applications, synthesizing graphene directly on an insulating substrate... Read More
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene, hexagonal boron nitride, and molybdenum disulfide, hold great potential for building next-generation high-performance electronics. To realize the maximized performance of the 2D material... Read More
Just as cloning in biology allows for the creation of one or more replicas of the exact same genes, seeded growth in chemistry can produce a very large metal foil with the exact same surface texture as that of a seeded one. Seeded growth is... Read More
Back in 2004, the physics community was just beginning to recognize the existence of truly two-dimensional (2D) material, graphene. Fast forward to 2019, scientists explore a breadth of different 2D materials, expecting to uncover more of t... Read More
What makes something a crystal? A transparent and glittery gemstone? Not necessarily in the microscopic world. When all of its atoms are arranged in accordance with specific mathematical rules, we call the material a single crystal. Like th... Read More
Prof. Feng Ding (School of Materials Science Engineering) has been living in Korea for two years, but his calm attitude during the interview made him look like he has been living here for a long time. He might be indifferent to his environm... Read More
A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has measured and controlled the temperature of individual graphene bubbles with a single laser beam for the first time. This study has been led by Distinguished Professor Rodney S. Ruoff (School of Natu... Read More
Diamonds is the strongest naturally occurring material on Earth. It is also renowned for its incomparable properties, such as high stiffness, exceptional thermal conductivity, high chemical resistance, and high optical transparency. Althoug... Read More
