Photonics: Quest for elusive monolayers just got a lot simpler: Novel solution paves way for cutting-edge photonics - Science Daily

Optics researchers develop an automated scanning device that can detect 2D monolayers with 99.9 percent accuracy -- surpassing any other method to date -- at a fraction of the cost, in far less time, and with readily available materials.

One of the most tedious, daunting tasks for undergraduate assistants in university research labs involves looking hours on end through a microscope at samples of material, trying to find monolayers.T… [+3434 chars]
