Read moreScientists have managed for the first time to strongly align a relatively complex structure - the biomolecule indole - without the presence of a laser field. In the future, it should also be possible to use the new method on other complex molecules such as amino acids, neurotransmitters or vitamins, and possibly even entire proteins.

Read moreAtomically thin sheets are not necessarily uniform. They can be subject to mechanical deformation that result in defects, such as bubbles and wrinkles that occur during exfoliation and transfer. This lack of perfect flatness of individual layers forming a van der Waals heterostructure has implications for interface properties, such as those formed by metal contacts or insulating layers.
