Newly developed 2D crystals are capable of delivering designer materials with revolutionary new properties. By protecting the new reactive crystals with more stable 2D materials, such as graphene, via computer control in a specially designed inert gas chamber environments, these materials can be successfully isolated to a single atomic layer for the first time.

University of Manchester team demonstrate how tailored fabrication methods can make these previously inaccessible materials useful...
