In the latest Nature Podcast, researchers unveil a groundbreaking approach to producing large flakes of 2D metals using a hydraulic press and sapphire anvils, achieving sub-nanometer thickness. This method may revolutionize the manufacture of 2D metals, known for their unique properties. Additionally, the episode reflects on the extensive research spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, with over 150,000 papers and millions of genome sequences generated, highlighting the lessons learned that could inform responses to future health crises.
Researchers have developed a new method for creating large flakes of 2D metals by squeezing molten metals using sapphire anvils, achieving unprecedented thinness.
The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled an extensive study of SARS-CoV-2, resulting in over 150,000 articles and 17 million genome sequences, teaching virologists critical lessons.
