2D Materials Science: Graphene and Beyond

Pulickel M. Ajayan, Rice University delivered this keynote address at the 2014 MRS Fall Meeting.
Dr. Ajayan's abstract: The advent of graphene had a strong impact in the field of materials science and a large number of researchers, working in diverse areas of materials science and nanotechnology, have been engaged in the excitement provided by this unique material. Even more, recent years have seen the spectacular growth of this effort, including a large number of material compositions that adapt the two-dimensional layered structure, exemplified by graphene. This talk will explore the current scenario of two-dimensional materials science and the efforts to synthesize, characterize, manipulate and engineer monoatomic layers into functional architectures. The ability to isolate and rebuild atomic layers with different electronic structure could lead to new, artificially hybridized and stacked van der Waals solids. The design of such novel 2D structures could impact several applications ranging from electronics to catalysis.

Very well explained sir.

It is a fabulous video and showcases the best of the 2d materials world. It gives insight about the possibilities and the language is such that an undergrad can easily follow. I hope to find more such videos from this channel.

Great video!! At first glance it´s tempting to think it´s one of those nanotechnology lectures but if you research the history of graphine you will start to realize why it´s so interesting...

Awesome lecture...

[@europeisthebestloveisblind5524]

sachin shinde this is pseudoscience this is not real it is not hexadragon shaped these are rips and tringle like shaped something and these people does not even know how is that created

[@Camerafik]

Great talk

Perfect!!!
