Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University and their colleagues from Germany have conducted an experiment demonstrating the behavior of areas of two-dimensional materials. The study has applications in the creation of flexible displays for smartphones and other gadgets, flexible optical and computing schemes, flexible solar cells and so on. The scientists are working on a technology to observe how materials interact at the nanoscale, to determine local strain occurring at their interaction, and even to see defects of the materials at the nanoscale that will make it possible to improve nanoelectronics components. The study outcome was published in Nano Letters.
