Mapping crystal shapes could fast-track 2-D materials

Materials scientists at Rice University and the University of Pennsylvania are calling for a collective, global effort to fast-track the mass production of 2-D materials, such as graphene and molybdenum disulfide. In a perspective article published online in “Materials Today,” the scientists make a case for a focused, collective effort to address the research challenges that could clear the way for large-scale mass production of 2-D materials.
