Materials such as epitaxial graphene and MoS2, are films made of a few layers, with each layer only one atom thick. The films are characterized by strong in-plane bonds and weak interactions between the layers. Researchers used sub-angstrom-resolution indentations to measure the forces between the atomic layers.
