Electrons in these materials are free to move in the two-dimensional plane, but their restricted motion in the third direction is governed by quantum mechanics. Prominent examples include quantum ...

Researchers have now used a 3D printing technique to fabricate high-performance thermoelectric materials, reducing production costs significantly. Rapid, localized heat management is essential for ...

This class exhibits plate-like shapes and includes graphene, nanofilms, nanolayers, and nanocoatings. Three-dimensional nanomaterials (3D) are materials that are not confined to the nanoscale in any ...

As the use of 3D printing continues to mature, scientists continue to find new ways to use it to create not just interesting objects, but base materials to use in creating other objects.
