For more than a decade, two-dimensional nanomaterials, such as graphene, have been touted as the key to making better microchips, batteries, and antennas. But a significant challenge remains: ensuring that these atom-thin building materials can be produced in bulk quantities without losing their quality. For one of the most promising new types of 2D nanomaterials, MXenes, that's no longer a problem. Researchers at Drexel University and the Materials Research Center in Ukraine have designed a system that can be used to make large quantities of the material while preserving its unique properties.
