A fast, non-destructive test for 2-dimensional materials

A fast, non-destructive test for 2-dimensional materials 05/09/2017 02:19 PM EDT Thinning a material down to a single-atom thickness can dramatically change that material's physical properties. Researchers have begun to study hundreds of other 2-D materials for the purposes of electronics, sensing, early cancer diagnosis, water desalination and a host of other applications. Now, a team of Penn State researchers has developed a fast, nondestructive optical method for analyzing defects in 2-D materials.
