Materials Of The Future: 2D Nanomaterials

Yes! Two-dimensional nanomaterials are the best candidates for future technology.
2D Materials are simply single, two or three atomic layer stacks what the thickness is one atom thick and its width and length are two-dimensional.

When we look at a bulk material in the atomic scale, we see the distribution of the atoms in all three dimensions symmetrically which constitutes a crystal lattice.

All the properties of this bulk material are affected by this atomic crystal lattice structure like electronic, optic, phononic behaviors etc.

However when someone makes a single layer of atoms from this bulk material, then most of its characteristics and properties dramatically differs from its original form.

We could've seen this when scientists achieved Graphene from a bulk graphite. They also paved the way for making carbon nanotubes which are one of the most robust materials ever.

By using 2D Materials we will see many magnificent technologic advancements in near future.

I gathered some foresight about technological developments together below:
