Like the perfect sandwich, a perfectly engineered thin film for electronics requires not only the right ingredients, but also just the right thickness of each ingredient in the desired order, down to individual layers of atoms. Researchers have discovered that sometimes, layer-by-layer atomic assembly requires some unconventional 'sandwich making' techniques.
