A team of researchers at Northwestern University has developed a new method to view the dynamic motion of atoms in atomically thin two-dimensional materials. The imaging technique, which reveals the underlying cause behind the performance failure of a widely used two-dimensional material, could help researchers develop more stable and reliable materials for future wearables and flexible electronic devices.
